MWP Tools on Mac

[timtuxworth]

I'm trying to build MWP tools on Mac OS (Ventura) and it failes with a dependency on libsoup 2.4. I have libsoup 2.74.2_1 and if I used home-brew it installed 3.2.2. There doesn't seem to be a way to get 2.4.

I'm thinking the easiest way would be to update the dependency to 2.74, how would I do this?

I'd be interested to see if this works. I managed to compile mwp in a OSX VM some time ago, but it's not usable because GTK and OSX fail to agree a common encoding for OpenGL which is required by the map layer. So sadly it's unusable. Maybe this would not be a problem on real hardware.

The libsoup (actually libchamplain #128 pain) is a problem, I'll see what I did about that for my OSX build.

brew issue. It should install pkg-config files for libsoup-3.0 and libsoup-2.4 (based on 2.74, which is what Linux / FreeBSD does).

[timtuxworth]

Yes - I have both libsoup-3.0 and libsoup-2.74

but brew fails to install /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libsoup-2.4.pc for libsoup-2.74. Which it should. Game over.
