Fails to build on MacOS with signal 9

[jay-ponce]

Environment: MacOs
Software: Monterey 12.3.1
Hardware: Apple M1 Max

Description:
The subprocess is exiting unexpectedly when trying to build the macOS application.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 2, in

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders']' died with <Signals.SIGKILL: 9>.

After doing further inspection, the reason on why gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders is not working is because the loaders.so is not found.

g_module_open() failed for .../keyboard-configurator/macos/System76 Keyboard Configurator.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders: dlopen( .../keyboard-configurator/macos/System76 Keyboard Configurator.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.so, 0x000A): tried: ' .../keyboard-configurator/macos/System76 Keyboard Configurator.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.so' (no such file)

I am not sure if I'm missing something. I don't see any results when I try to search for loaders.so and all I see is loaders.cache

I'm not sure but this may be connected to this: #89

[jay-ponce]

Reviewing #89, I don't seem to have the same issue as for now. I feel like I am missing a package to install or so.

On line 104, file deploy.py:

module_dir = f"{RESOURCEDIR}/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/{pixbuf_ver}"
with open(f"{module_dir}/loaders.cache", 'w') as cachefile:
    cache = subprocess.check_output(['gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders'], env=dict(os.environ, GDK_PIXBUF_MODULEDIR=f"{module_dir}/loaders")).decode()
    cachefile.write(cache.replace(APPDIR + '/Contents', '@executable_path/..'))

I am having issues with the command:

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders env=dict(os.environ, GDK_PIXBUF_MODULEDIR=f"{module_dir}/loaders"

As it tries to look for file: loaders.so where I don't seem to have it.

This is all of the packages that I have.

• GTK+ 3.x
• librsvg
• hidapi
• gdk-pixbuf
• adwaita-icon-theme
• appdmg

What other packages that need to be installed for MacOS build?

macOS builds are passing on CI, so it should work with the dependencies installed there (and whatever Github Actions has by default): https://github.com/pop-os/keyboard-configurator/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml
