Hints to install GTK-server on MacOSX

1) Install Xcode from http://connect.apple.com
2) Install GTK framework from http://www.gtk-osx.org/
3) Compile and install 'pkg-config' from http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/
4) Set CPPFLAGS to the FFI header files at '/usr/include/ffi' as follows:

export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/ffi

5) Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GLib.framework/Resources/dev/lib/pkgconfig:/Library/Frameworks/Gtk.framework/Resources/dev/lib/pkgconfig:/Library/Frameworks/Cairo.framework/Resources/dev/lib/pkgconfig

Preparations are done, run the configure-script:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-gtk2

But if you need GTK-server compiled as dynamic library, run:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-gtk2 --enable-library

Then compile and install:
make; make install

FAQ

Q: Some of the demoprograms in the GTK-server sourcepackage do not work!
A: That's right, some of the programs require GNU Awk instead of the standard AWK of MacOSX. Some programs need Glade
which at the time of writing was not ported to MacOSX yet. Some programs need OpenGL, this should be supported by your system.

Q: Why the GTK error "Unable to find default local directory monitor type" appears when using a fileselector?
A: This seems to be a flaw in the current GTK port for Darwin (MacOSX).

Q: Why does the GTK window appear behind the current terminal window?
A: This seems to be a known issue in MacOSX Quartz. It also happens with users of TK and wxPython. Any program launched
from the Terminal window will always popup behind the terminal.

It can be worked around by applying 'gtk_window_set_type_hint' to GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_UTILITY first, and then in your mainloop
reset the typehint to GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_NORMAL again.
