Sorry, your gist indicates that you're using a fork of gtk-osx with its own modulesets. If that's what you 
want to do then ask Alex Samurukov for help. IIRC he hangs out on #gimp. If you want me to help then use the 
mainline gtk-osx... but note that I haven't built anything that uses Gtk2 in a long time. You're probably 
better off with Alex.
