[Ggobi-help] building ggobi on OS X: gtk+

IIRC ggobi uses gtk-1.x. The gtk-osx package is reportedly flaky so I used the X11 version.
GGobi itself can be compiled with gtk-2.*, and most of the things work. Rggobi uses RGtk and RGtk is _currently_ only for gtk-1.2. Therefore, for Rggobi, you want gtk-1.2. gtk-config --cflags -I/usr/local/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/local/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include gtk-config --version 1.2.10 There have been issues for some people when they end up with the glib pointing to a Framework. Unfortunately, I am not certain how they ended up with that configuration. gtk-osx is not really flaky, as partial/spotty/incomplete. So it is not even close to viable for a build of ggobi.

Which version of gtk did you use? gtk-1.x, gtk-2.x, or gtk-osx (apparently gtk-1.x in carbon) George Byron Ellis wrote:
You can actually build a Mac version without fink by using the Open Darwin packages (they use standard Mac .pkg files so you could conceivably create a ggobi mpkg) for the gtk dependencies. I managed to do it last December. There are some problems with various plugins unrelated to those packages, but thats a different issue. :-) I'm pretty sure you need, dlcompat, gtk, iconv and perhaps others along with the Panther X11.

Hi George, I've always used the Panther version - however, once you've got the development toolkit installed and ggobi compiled, it seems to work equally well with either. I prefer the Panther X11 as it tends to integrate slightly nicer with the rest of OS X. Apart from that, I haven't noticed any differences (not that I can claim to have used either extensively) In the slightly longer term, I think the ggobi team is aiming to produce mac binary build so that this shouldn't be a problem anymore.
