Hi,
I am desperately attempting to build Geany (0.14) on OS X (10.5.4). I feel that I am close to success, but being relatively new to all of this (building apps on Unix-like machines, and new-ish to Unix all together), I am finding myself at a dead end.
I successfully built GTK2, by following the directions found here: http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx/build-instructions
After the build was successful, it didn't really say much, but I found that build generated the dir "/Users/<username>/gtk/inst" that has the following dirs: System bin etc include info lib man share
This looks to me, like a valid GTK2 dir structure. However, when I attempt to run ./configure on Geany, I get the following:
checking for GTK... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0
= 2.6.0) were not met:
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I tried setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the path I mentioned above (and several other of its subdirs), but I still get the same message.
I'm not sure where to go from here, but again, I feel that I am close to success. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you!
I figured it out... I needed to run the following before running ./configure and make: jhbuild shell
This setup the environment for me to build successfully.
Thanks!

fyi, I was able to install Geany with darwin ports - http://geany.darwinports.com/

Cool, nice to hear.
Do you mind writing a little howto or a list of instructions about how to build Geany on MacOSX? This question is asked from time to time and we can't say much about it due to lack of experience with Macs :).

Yep, I've been using the Imendio GTK+ Quartz project to build Geany SVN on my Mac for a few months. They recently had a commit to GTK+ Quartz that broke Scintilla. I managed to track down the problem, and they managed to fix it pretty quickly. :)
So Geany has always been a really good project to test GTK+ Quartz.
