Additional context
LIBINTL_LIBRARY
I have the following packages installed that should give me the proper files for libintl: gettext gettext-base libgettextpo0 libgettextpo-dev libc6 libc6-dev libc6-dbg, all of which are properly updated. I tried adding message( ${LIBINTL_INCLUDE_DIR} ) after line 54 in CMakeLists.txt, which confirmed the location of libintl.h to be in /usr/include (which locate libintl.h agrees with).
Is cmake looking for a libintl.so or libintl.a somewhere for the library? (I'm still new to C/C++, so I'm not familiar with this sort of library management.) There is a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/preloadable_libintl.so, but that's it. locate libintl.so only returns the preloadable file. Is something installed wrong? I'm clueless.

PANGO_WIN32_LIBRARY
I assumed that this was an issue because I'm running this on Linux. Should line 33 of CMakeLists.txt be wrapped with if(WIN32)? I am probably wrong on that, but I suppose someone will know what's going on.

If you need any more information (package versions, files existing or not, etc.), please let me know. I'd like to be able to use GTK headers with Visual Studio Code. I've tried quite a bit to get this working, but I unfortunately don't have enough cmake experience or GTK experience to know where the issue is.

God bless,

I have a very similar error on Ubuntu 22

[AleksandrsKorsunovs]

Same issue on Ubuntu 22

Same issue on Ubuntu 22

Certainly not the same. The original post (2020) is about port gtk, major version 3. Port gtk is at major version 4 since 2021.

A new port gtk3 was added recently (2022), with a lot of work on dependencies. It probably resolved the issues reported here for major version 3. At least it is good enough to build e.g. wxwidgets:x64-linux.

So please choose the desired major version, and report issues properly.
