Hi! I am trying to install CoqIDE.8.18.0 on my machine with macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 and it seems to fail at the step where lablgtk3 is supposed to be installed:

#=== ERROR while compiling lablgtk3.3.1.4 =====================================#

I tried brew upgrade glib already but I get the same error as above after that.

Would anyone have any clue or recommendation? Thanks in advance!

Can you try the Coq Platform "from sources" method described here: https://github.com/coq/platform/blob/main/doc/README_macOS.md#installation-by-compiling-from-sources-using-opam?

For just Coq and CoqIDE you can use extent "i" = "IDE" (the script will ask you).

Thanks! I tried (using "i"= "IDE" when asked by the script) and it seemed to work but then I ran into trouble again:

[ERROR] The compilation of lablgtk3.3.1.4 failed at "dune build -p lablgtk3 -j 4".

I should say that I picked the following version:

(2): Coq 8.18.0 (released Sep 2023) with a package pick based on mathcomp 2.1

and not

(1): Coq 8.18.0 (released Sep 2023) with the first package pick from Nov 2023

Anyway, contrary to what was happening earlier, the installation kept going after hitting an error while installing lablgtk3. At the end, I got the following message:

I do have a previous version of the Coq Platform on my machine, using Coq 8.16.1. I don't know if this is the source of the problem.

The output doesn't show the real problem, the error appears truncated

and the error lists more complete log files. But if these logs are to be believed, it seems like the building lablgtk release treats deprecation warnings as errors, which is a design mistake in the build, no matter the reason why you get deprecation warnings

Thanks for sharing your feedback :thank_you: I have tried several things since my previous message, but to no avail. I'll try to start from scratch at some point!
