Native osx?

[Fabian Åhrberg]

Very open question here. How much work would it be to port gnubg into  
a native
os x application? I have plenty of programming experience but I've  
never done
anything like it. If we're talking a few months work it could be a  
brilliant
after-work project for me.
Any thoughts about where to start?

Hi Fabian,

the main problem is the underlying gtk library. It mainly works with
X11 or ms windows backends. There are some efforts underway to develop
an osx port of gtk:

http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx

so I suggest that you take a look at that and see how it works.

Another problem might be the freetype library that we use, but that
could (and should) be ported to use pango/cairo instead.

I don't know how you will fare in terms of Makefile, config.h, cflags
and linker flags, but that should be solvable as well.

Christian.

And another problem might be the 3d code. We rely on gtkglext, and
opengl I believe. But just getting 2d up and running would be great.
