        Ah, okeh.  What i had was literally cut-n-paste from 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK+/OSX/Building#Building_Other_Programs with the small change from 
“mymodule” to “freeciv”.  I have made the edit you suggested, though.

        Yes, per https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK+/OSX/Building#Procedure i did both of those as well as 
meta-gtk-osx-core.

        Well, i looked around the modulesets directory to see if i could crib off an existing module but i 
didn’t notice one that was simple enough to be my jumping off point.  Where is a good example of a module 
that just builds a single application?
