\S{faq-mac-port}{Question} Will there be a port to the \I{Mac OS}Mac?
There are several answers to this question:
We hope so!
\b The Unix/Gtk port is already fully working under Mac OS X as an X11
application.
We attempted one around 2005, written as a native Cocoa application,
but it turned out to be very slow to redraw its window for some reason
we never got to the bottom of.
\b A native (Cocoa) Mac OS X port has been started. It's just about
usable, but is of nowhere near release quality yet, and is likely to
behave in unexpected ways. Currently it's unlikely to be completed
unless someone steps in to help.
In 2015, after porting the GTK front end to work with GTK 3, we began
another attempt based on making small changes to the GTK code and
building it against the OS X Quartz version of GTK 3. This doesn't
seem to have the window redrawing problem any more, so it's already
got further than the last effort, but it is still substantially
unfinished.
\b A separate port to the classic Mac OS (pre-OSX) is also in
progress; it too is not ready yet.
If any OS X and/or GTK programming experts are keen to have a finished
version of this, we urge them to help out with some of the remaining
problems!
