Re: Gtkada on Mac using Quartz

[ahlan@marriott.org]

Dear Stephe,

These applications all work on both Windows and Ubuntu.
If there was was Gtk usage problem, such as code being elaborated in the main program then I would have expected the code to fail on the other platforms.

I wonder if there isn't some pragma or something I need in order to tell OSX that the task is whatever Gtk needs it to be.

For example stack size - but perhaps there are other pragmas that do task oriented stuff that OSX needs?
