I think I could not get it to start, though it builds fine. > The only other GTK3 app I use is meld, which is now unusable (doesn't even > show a window) on 10.6 and 10.7, so I didn't even attempt on 10.5. on > 10.11-10.13 it has heavy redraw issues (has since about a year).

I did have problems with GTK and X11 ports on 10.6 ppc, but however: 1. 10.6 ppc is not an officially supported system in Macports, so some stuff may need extra fix-ups (usually trivial – fix some macros). 2. It is not impossible that I have a messed-up X11, since macOS implementation may conflict with MacPorts one, and there is also XQuartz. Unfortunately, there is no clear instruction how to go about that, and I have seen related complaints re 10.5 and 10.4. Once I rebuild gcc13 on Leopard, I will try again there. > I will try to build on 10.5 PPC tomorrow and see how things fare > > What app(s) do you use? I guess you ask Ken, but anyway, does anyone have X11 GUI working for `transmission-x11` and `gtk-gnutella`? P. S. On a side note, wxWidgets 3.1 also does not work for me, at least on PowerPC. At the same time almost everything Qt4-based works beautifully. Cocoa-based apps work, as long as the code does not rely on incompatible ObjC syntax and new SDKs.
