Compiling GTK on osx (with jhbuild)

deactivate macports!

if (10.6)
add to ~/.jhbuildrc-custom
setup_sdk(“10.6″, “10.6″, ["i386"])

and build it


$ jhbuild bootstrap
$ jhbuild build gettext-fw
$ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
$ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core


Note: You can do a main bootstrap with –ignore-system flag but the compiled gettext version won’t work. You need to do a build gettext-fw (until someone merge this)

Would be nice to have 64bits support!
