============

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.

GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.

GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
developers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.

About 2.16 releases:

There is some official (like Tor Win32 bundles) or unofficial OSX framework
released or we have to build from sources?

Building an OSX universal binary framework compatible with 10.4+ is not
exactly easy like configure/make :)

I have some notes from August '08 when I built gtk for osx with the x11
back end. Let me know if you are interested. Most of the steps should be
about the same. It was sort of funny in the sense that I have still
never even used osx in gui mode. A friend set me up a shell account on
his osx box on our lan, and from there via ssh and no root access, I
made it all the way to screen shots for a presentation. I was very
impressed that developers had taken the time to make all those pieces
even work. My *nix experience comes from the gnu/linux world, and so for
me at least, osx was a very strange animal. It would likely be easier to
build for native osx gui (carbon?) than x11, since there was all sorts
of --please-dont-do=that type switches I had to use.

Compile an X11 version or also a "quartz" version in the standard way it's
quite easy, the problem is that u get a ton of libraries for only one
architecture and it's really tough to fit them inside your application
bundle.

What I need are updated frameworks built like the one on www.gtk-osx.org,
that are really outdated (2.14.3).

Yesterday I've lost half of my afternoon trying to make the jhbuild scripts
used to build universal frameworks to work without luck...

The info on http://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/OSX are not enough, neither are
some other I found googling around...

Maybe most of the problems I have are related to the fact I'm trying to
compile on 10.4.
