mac os x native port

[Easy B <easy-b freesurf ch>]

Well i finally managed to build gtk-native on my MacOS 10.4 G5. The  
patch from Lillian made it compile but linking would fail. Building  
the recent cvs code worked though.
Looks pretty good till now, thanx a lot Anders and everybody else who  
made this happen.

Well I think it's soon safe to talk about making gtk more mac-like  
(like the menu bar ;). Well the first thing i compiled for the native  
port was gtk-engines and tried the Panther theme from fink that I use  
with my gtk/X11 apps. It kinda works but the background is black. Any  
Ideas?

Further I'm thinking of trying to build a mac os x style framework  
bundle. In my opinion the nicest way to integrate the native gtk port  
into OS X is by providing a framework that you can ether install into  
the /Library/Frameworks directory or bundle with the app. Well I'm  
new to this so I wanted to ask if anybody knows anything about this  
stuff. Will we need to create a framework for all the packages like  
cairo, glb etc. or can that everything be bundled into one? Or what's  
the best way? Well at the end it would be really cool to provide a  
mac os x like installer and these normally don't install into /usr/ 
lib or any other directory used by the unix/X11 stuff. Just some  
ideas...

I definitely would like to help with the integration into OS X and  
will look into these topics. Can't wait to have some great gtk apps  
running (almost) like a normal mac app. I really like gtk but running  
it natively on mac os x was just missing. Thanx again!

Cheers,
Ezra.
