Yocto configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.14.0) were not met - gtk3

I'm trying to build an application in Yocto which complains about a package not being found, which is in fact there. GTK+3 is installed on my the yocto build. Yet the packageconfig complains about GTK+3. What should I do?
Yocto configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.14.0) were not met. Full error is as follows:
| checking for gtk+-3.0 >= 3.14.0... no
| configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.14.0) were not met:
|
| No package 'gtk+-3.0' found
|
| Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
| installed software in a non-standard prefix.
|
| Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS
| and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
| See the pkg-config man page for more details.
| NOTE: The following config.log files may provide further information.

This question has been answered on many occasions for various Linux distributions. However, I could not find any contribution regarding Yocto-based Linux builds. I decided to do it Q&A style.
This problem happened to me when installing plymouth package with PACKAGECONFIG_append = "gtk". But I assume the solution would help with many other packages.
The problem is due to not having a dependent package information provided. You should create a .bbappend to the package and add (in my case):
DEPENDS_append = " gtk+3"
This solution worked for me perfectly.

Does a recipe provided as DEPENDS can have own do_install() in yocto?

I am trying to build a custom recipe with Yocto (Rocko) for my Linux i.MX6 based embedded system.
The main recipe had dependency on a other custom recipe(as the main recipe is using header-files from this recipe) which is also creating some binaries which needs to be included in the final image.
I have added other_recipe(nbdkit) in the "DEPENDS" of main_recipe.bb
DEPENDS += "nbdkit"
the main recipe is creating a .so with the help of its own source file which is including header-files from the 'kit' recipe. I am able to install the binaries & .so generated using this main_recipe by adding it in do_install().
Now in the other_recipe(nbdkit http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-networking/recipes-support/nbdkit/nbdkit_git.bb?h=master), When I add do_install()to include the binaries generated from that recipe the main_recipe build gets failed with PKG_CONFIG error as follow,
| Package nbdkit was not found in the pkg-config search path.
| Perhaps you should add the directory containing `nbdkit.pc'
| to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
| No package 'nbdkit' found
Other build errors says that the header-files of kit included in the main_recipe is not found.
app-nbdkit-plugin.c:2:10: fatal error: nbdkit-plugin.h: No such file or directory
Where app-nbdkit-plugin.c is source file of main_recipe & kit-plugin.h is header file of other_recipe.
The strange thing is, when I remove do_install() from other_recipe(nbdkit) the main_recipe is getting built successfully.
Now I doubt, Is it possible to set a recipe as DEPENDS of other recipe and at the same time it provides output file as do_install()?
Will sharing header-files from other_recipe to main_recipe resolves the issue? If yes, how to do that?
Thanks.
[EDIT] Added nbdkit recipe link.

Pharo on RaspberryPi: Module not found at startup

I am on a raspbian stretch system with the spur32 VM for ARM and a Pharo 7 image. At Startup I always get an exception: Error - Module not found.
It seems to have to do with lgitlibrary. I really cannot figure out what this error is about.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Henrik
I see. If you check #unixModuleName
unixModuleName
| pluginDir |
pluginDir := Smalltalk vm binary parent.
#('libgit2.so' 'libgit2.so.0')
detect: [ :each | (pluginDir / each) exists ]
ifFound: [ :libName | ^ libName ].
self error: 'Module not found.'
Here you have your error message: self error: 'Module not found.'
You probably have libgit2.so or libgit2.so.0 missing (or dependencies). You may suffer with similar problem as me: Getting error when adding OSSubprocess to my Pharo 6.1 on Centos 7.4x.
You should check the dependencies with ldd (check my question for details).
Edit Adding information due to comment:
I have yet to use IceBerg (the Pharo's git integration). My guess, would be to "(re-)initialize it": (Smalltalk at: #LGitLibrary) initialize.
For more information, I recommend reading these: pharo's iceberg and some Pharo project that uses git like pharo-contributor and checking blog pharoweekly (for some information about the pharo-contributor) - https://pharoweekly.wordpress.com/2018/04/24/pharo-contributor-to-contribute-to-pharo.
You may want to use some guide "How to use git and github with Pharo". Which was done by Peter Uhnak (you can find him on SO).
I had the similar problem and I needed to build libgit2 library from source using this instructions. The basic build didn't work because Pharo wasn't able to initialize the library. I compiled it again with parameter -DSTDCALL=ON an it works.

How to fix No package 'atk-bridge-2.0' found error even though atk is installed and PKG_CONIG_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set?

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ATK_CFLAGS

atk 2.18 is cleary added in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH and also LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
So, I though atk-bridge-2.0 is separate and found the packag: at-spi2-atk and at-spi2-core. But, no atk-bridge-2.0 is installed.
Please help.
The atk-bridge-2.0 API is provided by at-spi2-atk, not by ATK.
Your build environment is fairly broken, and it seems you're installing each component into its own prefix. You shouldn't. Create a temporary build root, and add that to $PATH, $PKG_CONFIG_PATH, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and $XDG_DATA_DIRS. Then, use the same prefix for every component.
You should look at how jhbuild works.

Installing Cairo, Helm on Windows

How do I install Helm (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/helm) on Windows 7 (64-bit)?
(Update: I had posted a lot of error messages here, but I've moved them to my answer to not clutter up the question.)
Installation for Windows 64-bit:
I'm including error messages, for if you follow all the steps up to that point and then just try to install directly. This is a conglomeration of a bunch of ad-hoc steps from following many different posts. Any simplification would be appreciated!
Note: Do all work in directories without spaces. I'm doing all work in C:/PF; modify this to your directory.
Download MSYS2-x86_64 from https://msys2.github.io/ and install it. Cabal install cairo (or helm) will give something like:
Configuring cairo-0.13.1.0...
setup.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
Missing C libraries: z, cairo, z, gobject-2.0, ffi, pixman-1, fontconfig,
expat, freetype, iconv, expat, freetype, z, bz2, harfbuzz, glib-2.0, intl,
ws2_32, ole32, winmm, shlwapi, intl, png16, z
Download C libraries. In MINGW64 (NOT MSYS2 - I had trouble with MSYS2 at random stages in the process), use the package manager:
pacman -Ss cairo
to search for the Cairo package. You'll find "mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-cairo", so install that:
pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-cairo
*.pc files should have been added to C:\PF\msys64\mingw64\lib\pkgconfig and C:\PF\msys64\usr\lib\pkgconfig. (pkg-config needs to be able to find these files. It looks in PKG_CONFIG_PATH, which by default should have the lib/pkgconfig folder above. Moving the file here is easiest. See Can't install sdl2 via cabal) If you get
The pkg-config package ... version ... cannot be found
errors then check your *.pc files.
Repeat with other required libraries, like atk
pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-atk
(I don't know the complete list, but error messages later on will let you know what to get.)
Get the development files for these libraries (as suggested by How to install cairo on Windows). Most of them are bundled up at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win64/gtk+/2.22/. Unzip.
Copy files (.a, .dll.a) in lib to C:\PF\msys64\mingw64\lib. Copy the pkgconfig folder, which contains the .pc files.
Copy files in include to C:\PF\msys64\mingw64\include.
Add C:\PF\gtk+-2.22.1\bin to the path.
(2) and (3) might be redundant. I don't know - I did them both.
At this point you can probably do "cabal install cairo". (Warning: if your end goal is something else, you may not want to "cabal install" intermediate packages, see https://wiki.haskell.org/Cabal/Survival#Issue_.232_--_Not_installing_all_the_packages_in_one_go.)
See (4) for the syntax in specifying extra-include-dirs and extra-lib-dirs (but if you copied the files above this shouldn't be necessary),
Any time you get
Missing (or bad) header file
check to see you copied the *.h files to mingw64\include and/or add the include folder to the PATH. Use cabal install -v3 to get verbose error messages if the problem persists.
If you get something like
cairo-0.13.1.0: include-dirs: /mingw64/include/freetype2 is a relative path
which makes no sense (as there is nothing for it to be relative to). You can
make paths relative to the package database itself by using ${pkgroot}. (use
--force to override)
try --ghc-pkg-options="--force" (as mentioned at https://github.com/gtk2hs/gtk2hs/issues/139).
Get SDL. Otherwise you'll get
configure: error: *** SDL not found! Get SDL from www.libsdl.org.
If you already installed it, check it's in the path. If problem remains,
please send a mail to the address that appears in ./configure --version
indicating your platform, the version of configure script and the problem.
Failed to install SDL-0.6.5.1
Follow the instructions in (2) to get sdl/sdl2 libraries. (See instructions here Installing SDL on Windows for Haskell (GHC).)
The new version helm-0.7.1 requires sdl2, but there are other dependency issues with helm-0.7.1 as of writing. Download SDL from http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/x86_64/ (direct download link to newest version as of writing http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL-1.2.15-7-any.pkg.tar.xz.sig/download), unzip. "cabal install sdl" gives
* Missing (or bad) header file: SDL/SDL.h
* Missing C library: SDL
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
so we specify where the dirs are (change the name depending on where you extracted sdl to)
cabal install sdl --extra-include-dirs=C:/PF/sdl\include --extra-lib-dirs=C:/sdl/lib
If you got SDL2 (http://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php) (for a newer version of Helm): there is a fatal bug that hasn't been fixed in the release version. (If you don't fix it, cabal install -v3 things which depends on it will give error
winapifamily.h: No such file or directory
("winapifamily.h: No such file or directory" when compiling SDL in Code::Blocks) Download https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/raw-file/e217ed463f25/include/SDL_platform.h, replace the file in the include folder and in C:/PF/msys64/mingw64/include/SDL2.
Download gtk2hs from http://code.haskell.org/gtk2hs and run
the following
cd gtk2hs/tools
cabal install
cd ../glib
cabal install
cd ../gio
cabal install
cd ../pango
cabal install --ghc-pkg-options="--force"
(Maybe you have already installed glib and gio from before? I did this step because normal install of Pango caused an error for me (https://github.com/gtk2hs/gtk2hs/issues/110)
pango-0.13.1.0: include-dirs: /mingw64/include/freetype2 is a relative path
which makes no sense (as there is nothing for it to be relative to). You can
make paths relative to the package database itself by using ${pkgroot}. (use
--force to override)
Once the Helm developers get things updated you should be able to do "cabal install helm" but right now there seem to be dependency issues. For me, cabal automatically tries to install helm-0.4 (probably because 0.4 didn't give upper bounds on dependencies, while newer versions do. You could try "cabal unpack"ing and deleting the upper bounds...). Then
cabal unpack helm-0.4
Installing gives an error because "pure" got moved to Prelude. Open helm-0.4\src\FRP\Helm\Automaton.hs and change line 17:
import Prelude hiding (id, (.), pure)
Now
cabal install
Try to compile and run a program using Helm
(This is 0.4 - look on the website for a newer sample if you tried a newer Helm)
import FRP.Helm
import qualified FRP.Helm.Window as Window
render :: (Int, Int) -> Element
render (w, h) = collage w h [filled red $ rect (fromIntegral w) (fromIntegral h)]
main :: IO ()
main = run $ fmap (fmap render) Window.dimensions
If you get an error about a missing .dll (sdl.dll), find it in a bin/ folder and add the folder to your PATH (or copy it to somewhere on your path).

Porting Newlib with current autotools

I'm trying to build a toolchain for my hobby kernel, but I'm running into problems when building Newlib. Whenever I try to run autoreconf in my kernels directory under newlib/libc/sys/ I get an error:
configure.in:5: error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed
Here is the content of configure.in (basically, taken from the below tutorial):
AC_PREREQ(2.59)
AC_INIT([newlib], [NEWLIB_VERSION])
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([crt0.S])
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(../../../..)
NEWLIB_CONFIGURE(../../..)
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
and the source for Makefile.am (again mostly from tutorial):
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = cygnus
INCLUDES = $(NEWLIB_CFLAGS) $(CROSS_CFLAGS) $(TARGET_CFLAGS)
AM_CCASFLAGS = $(INCLUDES)
noinst_LIBRARIES = lib.a
if MAY_SUPPLY_SYSCALLS
extra_objs = $(lpfx)syscalls.o
else
extra_objs =
endif
lib_a_SOURCES =
lib_a_LIBADD = $(extra_objs)
EXTRA_lib_a_SOURCES = syscalls.c crt0.S
lib_a_DEPENDENCIES = $(extra_objs)
lib_a_CCASFLAGS = $(AM_CCASFLAGS)
lib_a_CFLAGS = $(AM_CFLAGS)
if MAY_SUPPLY_SYSCALLS
all: crt0.o
endif
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I ../../..
CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES = $(newlib_basedir)/configure.host
Yes, I have tried removing the AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS=cygnus.
I've Googled around and been trying to understand this, and as far as I can tell, it is because of the version of autotools I'm using. According to the tutorial I used originally (OSDev - OS Specific Toolchain), I need an older version. My problem is that I'm using Kubuntu, which uses the apt package manager, and that version is not available to fall back to even temporarily. There has to be some fix for this. Either Newlib is outdated (this release is from December of 2013...) or the developers are crazy for depending on an outdated autotools version.
The only other thing I can think is that this is a message from the newlib configuration scheme itself in which case I have no idea how to modify my configure.in and Makefile.am to align with the new newlib configure format. That tutorial is the only one I've found that didn't use libgloss (which I'd prefer not to do) so far and the documentation of adding a new target is rather lacking in the documentation for newlib (or I missed something).
Here is some version information:
System: Kubuntu 14.04
Automake: 1.14.1
Autoconf: 2.69
Newlib: 2.1.0
Unfortunately I'm afraid using automake 1.12 or earlier is your only choice. Ubuntu has an Automake1.11 separate package to help you there, if I'm not mistaken, since the compatibility between 1.12 and 1.14 is generally good, but before that it was spotty.
I am writing this answer for people struggling with the tutorial described here.
I am in the same situation you are (or were), I am building a kernel from scratch and I wanted to port newlib to my toolchain. Unfortunately I think the tutorial has become out of date because I followed the instructions EXACTLY, even installing the correct software with the proper versions (including the correct newlib version). The accepted solution above didn't work for me but I found another solution that might work for others:
Step 1 - get the correct software
Acquire Automake (v1.12) and Autoconf (v2.65) from here:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.12.tar.gz
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.65.tar.gz
Step 2 - build process
Untar both of the archives:
tar xf automake-1.12.tar.gz
tar xf autoconf-2.65.tar.gz
Create a destination folder:
mkdir ~/bin
Create a build folder:
mkdir build
cd build
Configure automake first:
../automake-1.12/configure --prefix="~/bin"
Make and install
make && make install
Now lets configure autoconf
../autoconf-2.65/configure --prefix=~/bin
Then make and install:
make && make install
You should now have the proper binaries in ~/bin!
Step 3 - update PATH
To add these binaries to your path temporarily (recommended):
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Once you update your path, rerun autoconf and autoreconf and it should complete.
