Solved gvim messages: GdkPixbuf-WARNING and GLib-GObject-CRITICAL

[thierry@]

After a recent upgrade of my ports, launching gvim (installed by vim-gtk3-9.1.0470) displays the following messages:

(gvim:42133): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: 20:02:51.488: Error loading XPM image loader: Image type “xpm” is not supported
(gvim:42133): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: 20:02:51.488: Error loading XPM image loader: Image type “xpm” is not supported

Remark: after that gvim works as intended, this is just annoying.

Do you know how to remove these messages? (without an alias to mask them)

For gtk3 flavor (and gtk2 too) replace USE_GNOME=gdkpixbuf by USE_GNOME= gdkpixbufextra. See this commit.

You might be able to get away with installing gdk-pixbuf-extra without needing to recompile the vim port.

That package should add the required pixbuf modules (and regenerate loaders.cache).

Thanks kpedersen ! Installing gdk-pixbuf-extra is sufficient.

Although I am not able to reproduce it on my EMWM desktop, i created a PR for it.

There was a clear pkg upgrade message about upgrade gdk-pixbbuf2>2.42.11:
"On upgrade from gdk-pixbuf2>2.42.11:
Loaders for ANI, BMP, ICNS, ICO, PNM, QTIF, TGA, XBM and XPM have
been moved to a separate graphics/gdk-pixbuf-extra port. Install
the aforementioned port if artefacts in those formats no longer
load or otherwise cause errors." /q

The problem with upgrade messages is that nobody reads them.

The problem with upgrade messages is that nobody reads them.

So true BTW, if anyone else is obsessive-compulsive pkg upgrader like me, and want to check again/reread upgrade messages:
pkg info -Da | less
