I am familiar with a number of resources, for example Imendio's web site and build script, and the pdf by Anders Carlsson which I am reading now. I have not been able to get GTK+ to build on my OS X 10.3.9 machine with a PowerPC processor. I have posted to Imendio's hosted forum but there currently appears to be a lack of developers using the forum, or at least they are not currently active. Imendio's branch does not support 10.3 at all. You have to have 10.4 to build it. I hope this will change, but they can only devote resources to 10.4 at this time, unless some influx of volunteer developers occurs. I would dearly love to see GTK Quartz on 10.3, and would spend time on it if I could, but like everyone else, my time is limited. I would like to know if there are other resources on GTK+ and the Mac that I do not know about. MacPorts and Fink both have GTK+ for 10.3 or newer, but require X11. Something else you might want to talk about in your article is methods for deploying a GTK app in OS X. For example, Gimp is available as a Mac app bundle. It requires X11 still, but the app bundle launches it for you and also allows the gimp.app icon to receive file files via a drag and drop in the finder or on the doc, and associates Gimp with file types. This makes Gimp, even though it's still running under X11 in this case, more of a normal mac app. Also is this the right forum for me to post issues regarding building GTK+ on the Mac?

There has been some work recently on getting it building and working on 10.3, but some work is probably still needed. If you are interested in helping out with that, that would be great! I would most definitely like to help out if I can. I have come very close to a complete build but certain things are lacking. Right now I am having trouble with the Gtk+2 bindings in perl, but that is offtopic on this list I suppose. I used fink to install Gtk+2 like this: fink install pkgconfig glib2 gtk+2 gtk+2-dev glib2-dev This dragged in a lot of other packages for me as well. I have not tested to see whether Gtk+2 is working because I wanted to use perl to write code and I am stuck there as I mentioned. I am going to try to write a simple C program to test Gtk+2 to make sure that bit is okay. Also is this the right forum for me to post issues regarding building GTK+ on the Mac? The list is for developing GTK+ itself, so at least I prefer to keep questions about build problems in the forum (most of the time they are not really related to GTK+ but to problems in the build environment etc). I will try to keep the focus on building Gtk+ then! :) Regards, Jeremiah ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

I will have to dig into that somewhere, perhaps a GIMP developer on this mailing list.
