Does anyone out there know of availability (current or planned) of GTK for OS X?

There's a version on sourceforge, which I got running. It works, but it isn't really ready for general use yet (and probably won't be for ages).

I would just stick to XDarwin etc.

Link, please? I'd love to see this one.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Are you refering to the X windows version or the native Aqua version of Qt? The one on sourceforge is for X windows. Trolltech announced an Aqua version that they said is scheduled for release in October.

The X windows version is free, while the Aqua version will cost you.

davechen is talking about Qt, not GTK. Qt is a cross-platform toolkit and so is GTK. They are different however. I too am interested in the GTK being ported to Mac OS X (and I don't consider an X-windows version a port). A true port of the GTK would open the way for a bunch of software (like the GIMP).

Doh. Hopefully we will get one soon, I'm trying to convince a Linux friend of mine to port his stuff over and he says he'll do it once we have GTK. So I guess we'll see.

No its not.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-mac/ runs without X.

I am investigating the feasibility of a Mac OS X port using Cocoa.
