Hi John, thanks for the quick reply.

I'll try this, thanks!

The Apple one makes meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap fail for me, I see:

$ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
...
checking for python module libxml2... not found
configure: error: Python module libxml2 is needed to run this package
*** Error during phase configure of itstool: ########## Error running
./configure --prefix /Users/john/gtk/inst    *** [7/12]

I hoped the gtk-osx python would include this. And I remember (years
ago admittedly) gobject-introspection also had problems with the Apple
py. Perhaps that's fixed now.
