[gtk+osx] Compiling GTK Helloworld GTK app on MAC

[John B. <nou...@gm...>]

Hey all,

    This is a down and dirty guide to compiling some of your own custom 
gtk apps on your machine. First and foremost you need to have Fink and 
X11 installed along with X11 sdk.
The sdk can be found in the xtools developer package. Once you have all 
those things downloaded you will want to download and install all the 
"gtk+" files you see when you do a "fink list". Once thats complete the 
tutorial for compiling gtk apps will tell you to use the following 
command to compile your gtk helloworld.c.

gcc -Wall -g helloworld.c -o helloworld `pkg-config --cflags 
gtk+-2.0``pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`

make sure you change it to this

gcc -Wall -g helloworld.c -o helloworld `pkg-config --cflags 
gtk+-2.0``pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` -I/sw/lib

note the difference on the end is -I/sw/lib which is where fink puts 
the gtk libs.
Im not totally sure if you need to download a gtk dependent program 
using either fink or apt-get but you might have too. I think I did gftp 
before I even attempted any of this. In any case I think this should 
work for most of you, if you are having trouble email me and I will try 
and help you. The most important thing to do is try and use fink to 
download and compile a GTK dependent app like gftp and if thats working 
then do the gtk+ libs that I talked about and the compile instructions 
I wrote up above, those things should pretty much guarantee that you 
can compile your own gtk apps and run them with X11
