There are binary distributions of GTK+ already available: -- Windows (http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net) This project provides two installers: -- Development (includes glade, include files, etc.) -- Runtime (for your users) We use these installers for our applications. -- Linux GTK+ is already included in most Linux distributions -- Sun/Solaris (http://www.sunfreeware.com) Provides Sun packages of GTK+ v2.2.4 (a bit old). You'll need to write a small installation script to test for the presence of GTK, atk, glib, and pango. -- SGI/Irix (http://freeware.sgi.com) Similar issues as Sun; GTK+ v2.4.0. Note: Sun and SGI are beginning to bundle GTK+ in new systems. I just received a new Sun v240 server with GTK+ installed. -- Mac/OSX Have not found a good solution for Mac OSX. The GTK+OSX sourceforge project (Aqua-based) is dead. Darwinpost.org provides an X11-based0 port.
