Re: [gtkmm] gtkmm2, gconfmm, libglademm installer for Mac OS X

[Julian Missig <julian jabber org>]

Ok, here's how I built it.

Grab DarwinPorts. I have Panther with X11 and X11 SDK.

The gtk+ dependencies I installed are: atk, expat, fontconfig, 
freetype, gettext, glib2, gtk2, jpeg, libpng, libungif, pango, 
pkgconfig, tiff, Xft2, xrender

For libglade2, I modified the portfile to not depend on gnome, so my 
libglade2 does not depend on gnome, but it also cannot use gnome 
widgets. libxml2 is required.

Gconf needs linc, orbit2, gconf

In the Portfiles for libsigc++, gtkmm2, libglademm, and gconfmm, I used 
these values for configure.env (in other words, these were passed to 
configure):
CPPFLAGS="-L${prefix}/lib -I${prefix}/include"
CFLAGS="-no-cpp-precomp -flat_namespace -undefined suppress"

After configure happened, I modified the generated 'libtool' script. I 
changed CC and LTCC to use 'g++' instead of 'gcc'

After that, they build and run fine with the setup I described.

And murray, I'm not expecting or asking anything of you. I don't know 
why you get that idea. I'm just presenting this stuff that I built, 
that is all. You're under no obligation to do anything at all with it.
