Building an Intel-Mac-friendly BasiliskII GUI.

• Create a user gtk. As this user:

  • Build Gtk-OSX: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gtk-osx/wiki/Build
    • We need the package meta-gtk-osx-core
    • Also need ige-mac-integration at least version 0.9.8, previous versions don't like BasiliskIIGUI's menus. This is included in the above.
    • We want a pretty theme--I find the gtk-quartz-engine to be rather unattractive. Build gtk-engines, for Clearlooks.
    • Use a .jhbuildrc.custom containing setup_sdk(target="10.4", sdk_version="10.4u", architectures=["i386"]) Or on Lion, setup_sdk(target="10.6", sdk_version="10.6", architectures=["i386"]),
    • Lion also requires adding skip.append("libiconv") to the .jhbuild.custom
  • Install ige-mac-bundler: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gtk-osx/wiki/Bundle
    • It has a bug with paths containing spaces, so use branch "patch-1" of my repo: https://github.com/vasi/ige-mac-bundler
    • Symlink it somewhere useful: ln -sfn ~gtk/.local/bin/ige-mac-bundler ~gtk/gtk/inst/bin

• Build BasiliskIIGUI

  • Setup build environment by running HOME=~gtk ~gtk/.local/bin/jhbuild shell
  • Change directory to src/Unix
  • Run autotools: ACLOCAL_FLAGS="$ACLOCAL_FLAGS -I $PWD/m4" NO_CONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
  • Configure: ./configure --enable-standalone-gui --disable-fbdev-dga. Verify that Gtk2 is detected
  • Build: make BasiliskIIGUI
  • Bundle it
    • Change dir to src/MacOSX
    • Run ige-mac-bundler BasiliskIIGUI.bundle
