WOW thank you so much, that was the last little bit I needed to get this
working. Here's the basic process I went through, for the benefit of those
who read this later:
1. I installed Xcode and X11 from the OS X disc (obviously).
2. I used Vlad's build.sh script on the following packages (which I
downloaded from their respective sites): cairo-1.6.4,
fontconfig-2.6.0, freetype-2.3.7, gettext-0.17, glib-2.18.1,
pango-1.20.5,
and pixman-0.12.0.
3. I downloaded clutter-0.8.4 and ran the following:
./configure --with-flavour=osx; make; make install
4. I set up PKG_CONFIG_PATH:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
5. I got the flags from pkg-config:
pkg-config --cflags clutter-0.8
pkg-config --libs clutter-0.8
6. Finally, for those who want this to work in Eclipse, just create a blank
ANSI C project and right-click it and go to Properties. In the sidebar ender
C/C++ Build go to Settings, and under the Tool Settings tab go to
Miscellaneous under MacOS X C Linker (or whatever they call it on your
platform) and paste the output from "pkg-config --libs clutter-0.8" in the
"Linker flags" box. Then go to Miscellaneous under GCC C Compiler and paste
the output from "pkg-config --cflags clutter-0.8" in the "Other flags" box.
Finally, go to Directories under GCC C Compiler and put in the directory
that the clutter headers were installed (mine
was /usr/local/include/clutter-0.8).
To test it out, paste the code below in your main C file. If the resulting
program brings up a blank window like it does with me, that means (I'm
guessing) it works!
#include <clutter/clutter.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
ClutterActor *stage;
clutter_init (&argc, &argv);
stage = clutter_stage_get_default ();
clutter_actor_show (stage);
clutter_main ();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
THANK YOU again everyone for the help.
