OS X compile question

[markhenry mac com]

Is it possible to compile/install GTK+/glib on a Mac OS X system?  I 
attempted to, but when configuring it had issues when checking host 
system type, saying i need to specify it ... but i couldn't find 
references to how to specify the system type in the install document.  
If anyone could please email me some help/suggestions/hints/rants on 
this at <yurtle bellatlantic net>, it would be greatly appreciated :)  
Thanks for your time wot wot.

cheers,
george
