Hi Richard,
Thanks! I will get you a keyboard mapping file at some point soon for sure,
and test with an external keyboard, if Gabriel does not.
The two changes were:
- Right before gtk3 +quartz, install gdk-pixbuf2 +quartz
- somehow, gdk-pixbuf2 got installed +x11 instead of +quartz. It
shouldn't be necessary to specify this; feels to me like it might be a
macports bug, but I haven't had time to investigate yet.
- make install doesn't do anything, actually. The denemo executable
lands in ./src from the ../bin compile directory and can be moved wherever
you want it.
Let me know if I missed anything.
David
