macOS OpenCPN and missing gobject-2.0 with 10.6.6?

[itchako]

hi,

newbie with development using apple macs but kind of experienced on windows boxes... ;-)

Issue:
-Tried to compile OpenCPN under Snow Leopard 10.6.6.
-Complation successful but the linker complains about missing -lgobject-2.0
-Checked with pgk-config and really gobject is not availablel.
-Read that it should be part of glib-2.0 and tried to install using port, without success...

How can I add gobject-2.0 to my system to link the software mentioned above successfullyl

regards

I have glib2 (@2.26.1_0) installed via MacPorts under Mac OS X 10.6.6. Can you tell us why you couldn't install it? What went wrong?

sorry for the late answer but times are busy currently... ;-)

installation looks good to me (do not see any errors) but when I got it right in the /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig directory should be a gobject.pc file if installation was successful and this file is still missing...

Since my first tries I selfupdated port. When I now try to install glib2 I get the error that glib2-devel is already installed...

How can I verify that gobject was installed correctly and/or how I tell cmake or Xcode that it is available???
