He did a sort-of framework, but it was a bitch to maintain, so I didn't. Besides, it didn't work in that one couldn't put -framework Gtk on the compile line and get your app to build. Instead you had to pass horrible fixed-path -I and -L directives, and there is no m4 macro to discover them. If you want to look at at, it's at https://github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-framework Benjamin, I have no problem with you deleting those calls.
