It would be a lot nicer if iup could skip GTK and use native OSX widgets directly.
Why Not Mac? The first Mac driver was developed for MacOS 9 and had several memory limitations so it was abandoned. With Mac OS X we have the opportunity to do something better. Today IUP runs on Mac OS X using X11 with Motif or GTK. We plan for the future to build a native driver, but it is not a Tecgraf priority.
The iup core library could be compiled with either mode, but I hit a snag with a missing dependency on a "cd" library. Turns out to be CanvasDraw, but I didn't get a chance to try it yet.
This may help. http://webserver2.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/en/building.html Pay close attention to the directory structure and the order you need to do things.
Anyway, this is me volunteering to test the OSX side of things.
Schweet!
