that's good news indeed. Some people already got Inkscape to compile and run natively on OS X quite smoothly, through MacPorts. I don't know what the Framework will look like and what it will contain. I guess some dependencies of Inkscape will probably be missing so we'll need to provide them otherwise and I'm curious how the two (framework
- macports probably) will interact.
One of those is me I believe.
yes indeed ;)
In free time I wish to finish making standalone bundle of Inkscape without those intermediate bash scripts.
Next thing. I've browsed some docs, and it won't be hard at all to write a GTK engine as well that is using Appearance Manager API to draw native GUI elements, so all I can say GTK is very close to works natively on OSX, which is very cool.
I'll try to contact GTK guys asking them if they consider to write such engine. Well I just looked into QT sources and they did it pretty well for QT.
very cool. I hope GTK will make it a little better than QT though. I still find QT apps to look a bit alien on OS X. but maybe I'm asking too much. Anyway, it's great that it is conceptually easy. The refinements can come later.
