Re: [Bug-gnubg] Mac OS/X and GTK without X11 (Using Quartz) - Roll your own

[Myshkin LeVine]

Hi Michael,
	   Actually, no I don't use GTK-OSX with GNU Backgammon. I have  
limited experience with compiling the Quartz variant of Gtkglext. I  
once compiled it against the Quartz version of GTK+2 which is included  
in the Mono for Mac OS X framework provided by the Mono Project.  
Although I did get Gtkglext-quartz to compile, I wasn't able to use it  
as I was not able to get gnubg to compile with the Mono.framework GTK 
+2 and gave up trying. So unfortunately I can't assist you with any  
console messages you might get. The Mono-project's OSX framework may  
be useful for people who are not able or willing to compile GTK-OSX  
either manually or through Macports. Although I was not able to get  
gnubg working with the Mono framework, I was able to compile a Quartz  
version of The GIMP. It has some quirks but is usable. So maybe Mono- 
OSX can be used for gnubg. Another reason I didn't keep trying to  
build gnubg with Mono however is the problem of getting proper OSX  
menus. Have you been successful in writing the necessary code to take  
advantage of the Ige-Mac-Integration library to get those Mac OS X  
menus we are all accustomed to?
                Sorry for the late reply. Take care,
                                                    Myshkin
