[GNC] Problem building Gnucash from source using wiki page "macOS/Quartz"

[Paul Ingram]

As suggested, I patched project.py in ~/.new_local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pipenv/ as per "gitHub.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/6106”.
Reran gtk-osx-setup.sh and got the following question:

- pyenv: /Users/gtkosx/.new_local/share/pyenv/versions/3.11.7 already exists
- continue with installation? (y/N)

Answered “y”, and it seemed to run to completion, but with some warnings about tkinter and lzma not being installed.

Continued with instructions in wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOS/Quartz:
- Set path to include ~/.new_local/bin
- Moved copy of bash to .new_local/bin
- Downloaded jhbuildrc_custom
- Put jhbuild_custom in .config
- Added 'branches["gnucash-git”]=(None,”master”)’
- Changed “=_modules_stable” to “=_modules_git”

Finally, ran “jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx” and got:

- Loading .env environment variables...
- I: Modulesets were edited locally but JHBuild is configured to get them from the network, perhaps you need to add use_local_modulesets = True to your /Users/gtkosx/.config/jhbuildrc.
- jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx: no such command (did you mean "jhbuild run bootstrap-gtk-osx"?)

Tried running “jhbuild -f .config/jhbuildrc-custom bootstrap-gtk-osx” and got:

- Loading .env environment variables...
- Traceback (most recent call last):
-   File "/Users/gtkosx/Source/jhbuild/jhbuild/config.py", line 194, in load
-     execfile(filename, config)
-   File "/Users/gtkosx/Source/jhbuild/jhbuild/utils/compat.py", line 67, in execfile
-     exec(code, globals, locals)
-   File ".config/jhbuildrc-custom", line 3, in <module>
-     setup_sdk()
-     ^^^^^^^^^
- NameError: name 'setup_sdk' is not defined
- jhbuild: could not load config file

Looks like jhbuild is trying to execute "setup_sdk()” from line 3 of jhbuildrc_custom but can’t find this function.
There was no reference to it in the output of gtk-osx-setup.sh.
Thanks for any advice on how to proceed.
