[gtk-osx-devel] Gdk::Pixbuf::create(Gdk::Window, int, int, int, int) on Mac LION

[Jim Charlton <jim jimc dyndns org>]

I am porting some gtkmm-3.0 code from Linux (Ubuntu) to Mac OS X (LION) 
on an x86_64 machine.

I have struggled to get gtkmm-3.0 and all of its dependencies installed 
but have managed to do so with jhbuild.

One last problem remains.  At one point in my code, I copy the image in 
a Gdk::Window associated with a DrawingArea object to a Pixbuf. I later 
use cairo to redraw this to restore the image.

The Linux code uses Gdk::Pixbuf::create() to copy the contents of the 
Gdk::Window to a Pixbuf.  That code segfaults with a bad_alloc error on 
the MAC.  Is there another way to do that?  Is there a way to copy the 
image in the Gdk::Window to a Cairo quartz surface?
