Gtk+ on OSX!

Michael
October 6th, 2005

GTK is being ported to native OSX (No X11), and it’s done enough to show some pretty screenshots:

Great, soon OSX users will be able to have the best of both worlds – The usability and stability of OSX, and those cool GTK apps that there’s no OSX equivalent for (I know some among us miss Dia…)

It’s early days yet, of course, but looking promising. It’ll certainly help in bringing GTK-based OSS to mac users, and making its use more viable.

Now who’s gonna port Carbon/Cocoa to Linux?

    It’s hard to argue with that ;)

    Ahh, misguided linux programmers – Making it easier than ever before to ignore the Human Interface Guidelines and bring the truly atrocious interfaces of linux to Mac desktops everywhere! (“Hey – I can just cross compile it, and call it a port!”)

    Very true!

    But in the case of decent free UML programs, Mac developers also seem to fail to be up to the task.

    So I’ll take something like Dia rather than nothing :)
