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

[Andy P. <en...@li...>]

John,

Thanks for the info.

Just to be clear, the goal of this project is to port gtk+ natively to 
the Mac, by replacing gtk's low level X11 API layer with our own native 
Carbon API layer.  This removes any dependence upon fink, darwinports, 
or X11, for gtk+ based apps on the Mac.

There is further documentation as well as example source code, in the 
package on the website, on how to compile and use the gtk-osx distribution.


Thanks,
Andy
