Environment OSX 10.9.5
I am trying to install swftools so that I can use pdf2swf. I am installing through HomeBrew. I've seen various notes about pdf2swf failing to install if its dependencies have not been previously installed. So using the command at the link I use:
$ brew install freetype libjpeg giflib swftools
And it completes without error – except pdf2swf is not installed. When I look in usr/local/bin, I see the other swftools are installed successfully.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Update: For completeness if anyone comes across this question looking to use pdf2swf in an AIR desktop app: you can't. Apparently pdf2swf compiles the swf with certain "AllowDomain" security settings and there is no option to not do that. Short of editing the source code and compiling pdf2swf oneself, it seems a deadend.
If you look at the brew formula: brew edit swftools, PDF support comes via xpdf and this is not included by default as XQuartz needs to be installed:
brew instal swftools --with-xpdf
swftools: XQuartz is required to install this formula.
You can install with Homebrew Cask:
brew install Caskroom/cask/xquartz
You can download from:
https://xquartz.macosforge.org
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.
So:
Install XQuartz
brew install swftools --with-xpdf

I'm using qwebengine in my Qt5 program.
I use this command to install qt on my travis-ci env:
HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install qt5 qt5-qtwebengine --verbose; fi
However it tells me: Error: No available formula with the name "qt5-qtwebengine"
How to instaall qtwebengine properly by brew?
The fix was patched in two weeks ago and you will need to brew update before you brew install qt
when I'm typing the command
brew install pygobject3 --with-python#2 gtk+3
I'm always getting the error message
invalid option --with-python#2
I'm getting the same error message when I want to run the gtk+3 under mac os 10.15
Namespace Gtk not available
Maybe the Version of 10.15 of MacOS the problem....
gtk+3 version 3.24.12 and pygobject3 Version 3.34.0 are installed.
Installation of homebrew for MacOS
gtk+3 version 3.24.12 and pygobject3 Version 3.34.0 are installed.

I would like to run the program DemonEditor on MacOS 10.15 (Catalina)
to make some settings of my engima2 satellite receiver, for this I need the requirements "GTK+ >= 3.16 with PyGObject bindings".
Maybe some of the experts can help me.
Thanks very much
Since I am the author of this program, I am forced to report that since the program is designed for Linux, it will not work on MacOS without minor changes to the program itself. But still it’s possible.
DemonEditor
Тo resolve dependencies, it is enough to install as follows:
brew install gtk+3 pygobject3 adwaita-icon-theme
pip3 install requests
Upd.
I created an experimental brunch and added small changes to the program for the possibility of testing the launch in the MacOS. Perhaps not all the functionality will work (I have not tested it), but the program should start.
Gud luck!
STRIKE. It works, I can start the DemonEditor-GUI under 10.15. I have remove all packages via the
brew remove --force $(brew list)
installed the three packages again, via
brew install python3 gtk+3 pygobject3 adwaita-icon-theme
BUT. The most important step was to add the "Installation folder" of the brew packages to my python path but execute the comand
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages.
My assumption is, that due to fact, that I have installed an own conda-environment for python37, the site-packages have to be added to the path.
Big thanks for the help.
On my test system, I did not set any paths or environment variables! Just installed python 3 with the command:
brew install python3
Then I installed the dependencies as described above.Then I downloaded the archive from here, and in the unpacked folder of the program I simply gave the command:
./start.py
Below is the output of the commands python3 --version and brew list
Compare with your list, perhaps this will somehow help identify the missing components.
python3 --version
Python 3.7.4
brew list
adwaita-icon-theme libepoxy
atk libffi
cairo libpng
fontconfig librsvg
freetype libtiff
fribidi lzo
gdbm openssl#1.1
gdk-pixbuf pango
gettext pcre
glib pixman
gobject-introspection pkg-config
graphite2 py2cairo
gsettings-desktop-schemas py3cairo
gtk+3 pygobject3
harfbuzz python
hicolor-icon-theme python#2
icu4c readline
jpeg sqlite
libcroco xz
Upd. For the experiment, I removed all my packages with the command:
brew remove --force $(brew list)
Then again installed by commands as described above
brew install python3 gtk+3 pygobject3 adwaita-icon-theme
Working!
I've been trying to upgrade my OpenCV2 to OpenCV3 on my macOS Sierra 10.12.5, using homebrew and also have its bindings for both Python2 and Python3.
Following the excellent guide at pyimagesearch, I got to run
brew install opencv3 --with-contrib --with-python3 --HEAD
(I first uninstalled OpenCV, just for clarity and to avoid any potential conflicts). Now, the guide explains that --with-contrib is downloading additional stuff, which is good to have; --with-python3 is downloading the bindings for Python3 (those for Python2 are automatically there); --HEAD is pulling the Github branch version rather than the tagged release, which is a workaround to a problem related to the QKIT Apple library.
My problem is I get a
Error: Directory not empty - (/usr/local/Cellar/numpy/1.13.1, /usr/local/Cellar/numpy/1.13.1.tmp)
A brew doctor tells me Numpy is not linked but I'm not exactly sure what'd be the best way to proceed here. Wouldn't want to break something.
At this point, I just tested installing just the bindings for Python2, as in
brew install opencv3 --with-contrib --HEAD
and this leads me to this other problem:
Error: No such file or directory - /private/tmp/opencv3-20170714-55298-snr5jb/3rdparty/ippicv/downloader.cmake,
which is solved with if I instead run
brew install opencv3 --with-contrib
This last one works, I got OpenCV3 for Python2. Apparently I don't have the HEAD issue.
Now though, I still want the bindings for Python3 as well and due to the Numpy error above I'm not sure how to proceed? It seems like it's trying to install Numpy as a dependency, which I have already.
brew install opencv3 --with-contrib --with-python3 --HEAD
Instead of :
brew install opencv3 --with-contrib --with-python3 --without-numpy

I tried to install GNU Octave on my Mac using Fink by this instruction
http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X
I think I have followed all the instructions but I can't run Octave.
How can I check if it is installed correctly?
I tried typing 'octave' in the terminal but it says 'command not found'
Or, is there any easy instruction for Octave installation?
I've found many install guides but they are all different and assumes some knowledge.
Incidentally, I have installed Octave GNU today twice on two different machines (both running Lion).
I needed the latest version of Octave (3.6.4), and used Homebrew.
I already had XCode installed, so the rest:
Install Homebrew
Based on the instructions in this page, I ran:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
Install Octave
Following this guide, I ran:
brew tap homebrew/science
brew update && brew upgrade
brew install gfortran
brew install octave
Install AquaTerm
Notice that you need this before you install gnuplot (or gnuplot won't see aqua as a valid terminal and you may get 'unknown or ambiguous terminal type' error).
Simply downloaded the latest version (1.1.0) dmg from SourceForge.
Install gnuplot
brew install gnuplot
You could try installing it with Home Brew. Once you download and install Home Brew, use this guide to get Octave installed.
Easiest option would be using the precompilled .app
I've tried the precompiled .app, but had issues with certain functions (like sound),
whereas the macports version always worked.
I usually install it using macports:
sudo port install octave
for the basics.
You might need other port variants/octave modules installed:
sudo port install octave octave-signal octave-plot octave-image octave-signal
Need to have XCode with Command Line Tools first and Macports with this route though
How to know if a Fink package is installed
By default (and this should be your case too if you didn't changed it), Fink installs everything under /sw, i.e. the binaries you are looking for should be in /sw/bin/.
Run ls /sw/bin/octave*and, depending on the output, you then have two choices :
Either the Octave binary is inside /sw/bin, in that case run echo $PATH and learn more about PATH Variable to fix your problem.
Otherwise, if there is nothing inside, there might have been a problem with the install. Try running fink install octave once more, look closely at the output and update your post if necessary.
This is simply an update on the instruction provided by Izhaki (that I ran on Mac OSX 10.8.4).
You may be required to update XCode to 4.6.3. This can be done through the AppStore.
If you encounter the error:
Error: Download failed: http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/sites/default/files/software_releases/source/tbb41_20130613oss_src.tgz
during
brew install octave
Then invoke:
brew update
brew install octave
and the install will pick up where it left off. Other than that, the instruction worked seamlessly.
I have successfully installed ImageMagick using Homebrew but I can't get PerlMagick to install properly using the instructions here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/perl-magick.php
I get a lot of errors on Magick.xs. Anyone has any idea how to do this properly?
Following this reply, I simply uninstalled mono (which brew doctor had been complaining about), un- and reinstalled brew imagemagick.
cpanm then reported Image::Magick to already be installed. And it worked, too.
