To build the latest framework: 1) Get the latest using jhbuild and build 2) http://github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-framework/tree/master/framework/ I think I was able to build the frameworks and compile against them using the Xcode IDE, but I prefer using make and the command line myself. Actually machine has a couple of versions of framework / dependencies and builds, so I don't know if I just got lucky. Like I said, in 52 days I will have more time to play :) > Subject: Re: Why are no developers completing/maintaining native Gtk+ for OS X? > From: jacob juvul com > Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:35:44 +0100 > To: kris gtk org > CC: gtk-devel-list gnome org > > On Nov 9, 2009, at 8:23 PM, Kristian Rietveld wrote: > > > On Nov 9, 2009, at 7:10 PM, Jack Skellington wrote: > >> Hello All > >> > >> I'm currently in charge of the development of a cross-platform OpenGL > >> app which uses GTk+ for it's interface. > >> The app runs on both *nix/X.org and win32 but when I started looking > >> into OS X I found that the Quartz OS X version of Gtk+ is neither > >> complete nor being actively developed. > > > > No, it is not fully complete, but getting close.
