[Visualpython-users] VPython on Mac 3

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

Hi Bruce,

That's what I started last night. Actually I think it might just work. 
The trouble is I'm having to peel the onion of dependencies.

I built gtk2 on the first go... yeah!

I tried to build gtkmm. It apparently needs glibmm.
I download and attempt to build glibmm. It apparently needs libsigc++-2.0!
I download and build libsigc++-2.0.
I try again with glibmm. It needs pkg-config.
I download and build pkg-config.
I try again with glibmm... it's still building at this moment.

If I can get the thing to come together.. I'll let you know!

to Quartz rather than to X11. Then compile (from source) gtkmm on that 
same Mac. Since gtkmm is a wrapper of gtk, maybe this would give us a 
gtkmm environment that would talk to Quartz.
