All it requires to use it is to build the GTK stack yourself using the instructions provided (i wish the instructions had not been moved away from gnome.org, but they are still easy to find). I should put "all" in quotes because if you choose to follow bleeding edge GTK then you will find that maintaining your built version can be quite a lot of work in the face of breakages and changes in many different parts of the stack. This is not true (or at least, it is MUCH less true) if you use a recent release version (there are instructions on how to do that included in the gtk osx build info). I do not believe that using a pre-built GTK OS X framework is desirable for users or developers. Include GTK as part of your app bundle. Its not hard to do and gives you complete control over which version of GTK is used by your app. We do this for Ardour (and now Mixbus) (screenshots at http://ardour.org/ and http://mixbus.harrisonconsoles.com/). Users download a single app, and run it. No framework installation or maintainance. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
