Re: gnumeric natively on Mac OSX

[Morten Welinder <mortenw gnome org>]

I think the basic principle is that you find a gtk3+ application
that compiles and run in the environment you want.

Once you have that going, Gnumeric isn't too hard: it's
basically just the libgsf, goffice, and gnumeric modules
on top of gtk+.
