[QUESTION] How to compile mu on M1 macOS Monterey?

[stardiviner]

Parden me at first because my Emacs mu4e seems can't sent out email (It failed recently on "sendmail" on macOS system, don't know why, even I tried 3 times). So I post on Google Groups in web browser again.

Problem: meson and ninja can't find the Homebrew installed glib.h header file.

How to solve this error?

The homebrew provided "mu" formula is not updated with GitHub repo latest release. So I try to compile by myself.

Environments:
- Emacs version: GNU Emacs 28.1 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin21.1.0, NS appkit-2113.00 Version 12.0.1 (Build 21A559)) of 2022-05-12
- System: M1 macOS Monterey
- glib: I installed glib with Homebrew =$ brew install glib=

Compile commands:

#+begin_src shell
export CPATH=/opt/homebrew/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib

./autogen.sh # && make
meson build && ninja -C build
#+end_src



Here is the output of compile commands:

Where is glib.h on your system?

^^^ so meson can find glib (likely, through its pkgconfig file).
Locate the glib-2.0.pc file on your system.

So it passes the include paths; the directory
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/glib/2.72.0/include/glib-2.0
should contain glib.h. Does it?

Kind regards,
Dirk.

Thanks Drik, and Ray K.

I searched Homebrew path "/opt/homebrew/" with command `find`. And got two path of "glib.h":

- /opt/homebrew/Cellar/glib/2.72.1/include/glib-2.0/glib.h

- /opt/homebrew/include/glib-2.0/glib.h

Should I setting environment variable like this?

```

export CPATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/glib/2.72.1/include/glib-2.0/
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/glib/2.72.1/lib/glib-2.0/

```

This solved the `glib.h not found problem`. but got another problem:

Is there anyone use M1 macOS and compiled mu from source code correctly? Teach me how to setting this environment.

I don't know about those C/C++ environments. Thanks in advance.

[stardiviner]

Will mu add support adding extra compilation steps (like setting environment path and installing glib etc) for M1 macOS on README?

glibconfig.h is the kind of the configuration header generally created
during the build process by autotools or similar, and installed as part
of the devel package. On my system it is in

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h

What happens when you do ... can you send the output?

* pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0
* pkg-config --libs glib-2.0

(BTW - I have now idea what /opt/homebrew/Cellar is)

Can you 'find /opt/homebrew/ -name glibconfig.h -print'

Don't think there's anything specific for M1 here, or mu/mu4e for that
matter. mu (through meson) finds its dependencies through pkg-config. If
you have installed things in a non-standard place (like homebrew), you
need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH accordingly (see the pkg-config
manpage).

If you still have trouble, I'd recommend just sticking with the 1.6
releases for now.

I finally found the problem. Because my compile commands error:

My original wrong compile commands:

#+begin_src shell
./autogen.sh
make
meson build
ninja -C build
#+end_src


I I found the correct compile commands are:

#+begin_src shell
./autogen.sh
ninja -C build
#+end_src

Now the previous headers not found problem is gone. Even thought got other error. But I will post in
another thread.

I find

meson build && ninja -C build

works fine and is what is documented in the NEWS.org file. The
autogen.sh is legacy and not what you want for current master branch.

If you prefer a more 'traditional' approach, have a looke at
Makefile.meson

[stardiviner]

Thanks, I have not followed the latest NEWS.org file. My fault. Add note on my notebook soon.

I got same error with command `meson build && ninja -C build`. As I posted in another new thread.

Ah, but ./autogen.sh (in mu 1.7.x) is just a small wrapper over the
meson commands. It also copies Makefile.meson to Makefile, which gives
you a few useful extra targets for tests etc.

Dinosaurs like myself with "make" in their muscle-memory use it all the
time.

After doing git pull, try doing git clean -xdf

That should clean out any old files you might have hanging around
causing problems - basically, it will remove everything not managed by
git.

Note also that as your building on a mac and using homebrew, you might
need to tweak a little to ensure meson finds everything. In particular,
pkg_config (I think, from memory as not using a mac anymore).
