The app runs on both *nix/X.org and win32 but when I started looking into OS X I found that the Quartz OS X version of Gtk+ is neither complete nor being actively developed.No, it is not fully complete, but getting close. Recently, I have been working on reviewing outstanding patches, fixing up the last few kinks remaining after the transition to client side windows and implemented proper and complete multi monitor support. I do have plans on how to continue my work on the backend. Development of the Mac port is actually pretty active. I only have very ample spare time to work on this and I do not get paid for this at all. Saying that the OS X port is not being actively developed is actually close to insulting to me; I have been trying my best to pick it up after the previous maintainer stopped working on it
I can't tell you how happy reading this makes me. I love Gtk+ and have been using it in projects for like a decade, mostly on *nix, but lately cross-platform. As for the insult part, it was never my intention, I was merely relaying the present information thats available on the Gtk+ OS X sourceforge site.
Keep up the good work! If I had money, I'd pay you ;)
Also if a native Gtk+ OS X framework were available people who are maintaining Gtk+ apps would have the option to extend their user base to OS X quite quickly.
The basics for this have been worked out in the past and are available for everybody to pick up. John Ralls & co have been doing a good job at making GTK+ easy to build and looking into scripts for simplifying the creation of application bundles for GTK+ applications and a framework.
A framework as in the Gtk.framework folder you add to the Xcode project and then build?
Ever since I started developing in OS X I've found this approach quite beautiful in its simplicity. I will seriously consider looking into this myself if/when I have the time,
Thanks again! Jacob Juul Kolding Juvul Tech
