Wow, you were actually able to do useful work with that framework? From inside of XCode? I'm frankly amazed.

I never managed to get the frameworks to build satisfactorily, and frankly the mismatch between the linux library architecture and OSX frameworks is so large that it's really not worth the trouble. Just build a regular Gtk installation and set up the include and library paths in your XCode project like you would to normal libraries in /usr.
