I'm not sure if I understand your issue correctly so I provide multiple answers in hope that at least one of them is correct. X11 is a default GTK backend for Linux and several other Unix-like operating systems. For OS X the default backend is Quartz. X11 is not available (although I'm not sure how XQuartz works). I don't know what your application does. If it uses only the portable GTK and GDK API you should just build GTK against Quartz (which is default) and your application should work without any problem. Do you use any X Window System Interaction API [1] or X API (like Xlib [2]) directly? They will not work (again, I'm not sure about it and I'll appreciate if somebody explains). If possible, please remove those calls from your code. You can use conditional preprocessor directives (#ifdef ... #else ... #endif). Hope that helps.
