Description Vít Ondruch 2023-04-09 10:50:57 UTC

Description of problem:
I just thought that I'll try to build Double Commander with Gtk3 support [1], hoping to get the native Wayland application, because in Rawhide with Gnome 44, the XWayland application windows are weirdly positioned.

~~~

And seeing errors such as `Error: (lazarus) unable to create package output directory "/usr/lib64/lazarus/lcl/units/x86_64-linux/gtk3" of package "LCL 2.2.6"` hints that the Gtk3 components are not prebuild.

Now I wonder what is the plan?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -q lazarus
lazarus-2.2.6-1.fc39.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Gtk3 components are not prebuilt

Expected results:
Gtk3 components are ready

Comment 1 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2023-04-10 07:37:02 UTC

Hi. I was actually thinking about re-packaging Lazarus to offer different widgetset support for quite some time now.
I'll take this ticket as a sign that there's actually some user interest in this.

Comment 2 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2023-04-20 16:55:00 UTC

Copr repo now available at: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/suve/lazarus-split/

Comment 3 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2023-04-25 20:11:16 UTC

Proposed as a Self-Contained Change for Fedora 39: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F39-Lazarus-repackaging

Comment 4 Fedora Release Engineering 2023-08-16 07:13:14 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.

Comment 5 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2023-10-06 11:47:38 UTC

Available for testing in F39 beta.

Comment 6 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2023-11-12 16:13:51 UTC

Closing this since F39 has been officially released this week.
If GTK3 support is still broken in Lazarus with Fedora 39, please file a new bug.
