GtkAda for MacOS X?

GtkAda for MacOS X?

[Jacob Sparre Andersen]

What is the status of GtkAda for MacOS X?

I am considering to buy a MacOS X based system as my next laptop, but
I depend on being able to develop small GUI applications that work on
Linux and MS Windows, so unless I can get GtkAda (or something
similar), MacOS X is not an option.

If MacOS X has a port of Gtk, then it should be fairly trivial to compile
GtkAda.

There are several; I use DarwinPorts. Here's what I did:

You should also visit the MacAda and GtkAda home pages:

Infortunately, this Gtkada doesn't works with current gtk2 packages for OS
X. For my own, i've downloaded the Gtkada CVS, then applied manually
the OS X patches. All builds fine, except the testgtk apps (examples
build fine, though).

I have built gtkada from the gtkada sources that work fine with the
darwinports version of gtk2.  John Matthews and i both use it in our
work on os x.  Testgtk works fine for me including opengl.

i built our radar simulation gui's and  John and I build a simulation
of the army's Common Ground Station (A subset) using gtkada on Mac Os
X.  they use a pretty big subset of gtkada.  Nice thing about it is
that the target platform for all of these is linux, and all i have to
do is copy them across and recompile them.  no fuss, no muss.

Thanks for the encouraging report of your experience.  Hopefully I'll
have an iBook next week. :-)

As Jim Hopper has observed elsewhere, the Makefile for testgtk 
specifies compilation with -O2. On some platforms, I've had to 
compile the odd failing package with no optimization.

If you're just looking for an Apple than you can also install Linux
on it thus giving you the usual environment with GTK, GtkAda and
so on.

Dualboot is possible but you can also run OSX under Linux, it's
called MoL (Mac on Linux). So your OSX is just another window
inside your X-Window-System.

Only OS, not OSX they say.
