Re: OSX and XQuartz support

[Andrew Wagner <apwagner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul, 

Thanks for the clarification. Your point about using the native Quartz windowing system is well taken and may be implemented in the future but right now thats a bit of a distraction for me. The code I want to compile is actually sitting in the source that jhbuild pulls down, namely ~/gtk/source/gtk+-2.24.31/gdk/x11 and I have XQuartz installed on my machine so I have the necessary X11 dependencies but I’m not fluent enough in the gtk dependency scheme to understand how modify the makefiles to build gtk against x11 on a mac.  

Cheers, 

Andrew

I think you're confused :)

Quartz is the native MacOS windowing system. X11 exists as a rootless X Window environment for Quartz. There is (to my knowledge) no sign of XWayland for Mac OS/Quartz.

just wondering: wouldn't a quartz with XWayland on it be able to support that already?

Hi Paul, 

The project isn’t meant to choose, just use the X11 backend. The reason is that its written to be cross platform as much as possible so X11 and GtK are the common framework. Its an open source project found here: https://github.com/wrcad/xictools and any help you or anyone can offer to streamline the GUI (or just the GUI library installation) would be very welcome. 

Cheers, 

Andrew

Why would your project choose to use the X11 backend? How would it choose?

Hi All,

I’m new to gtk and am installing it on my Mac since its a dependency for other code I’m developing. I successfully followed the OSX install instructions:

./gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
jhbuild bootstrap
jhbuild build python meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap meta-gtk-osx-core

but noticed afterword that the x11 include files in the source directory had not been installed in the inst/include directory. The project I’m working on uses gtk via x11 rather than the native osx quartz. I was wondering if there was a module like meta-gtk-osx-x11 or meta-gtk-osx-xquartz that would install these for me (I have Xquartz installed)? Is there a way in the mean time to do this by hand? I know that macports has this sorted out but I like to try to get code “from the horses mouth” rather than the various Mac porting platforms. Thanks very much for your help.

Cheers,

Andrew Wagner
