How to install Glade in Mac OSX El capitan

Question

I am trying to install Glade on mac OSX el capitan. I downloaded sources on https://glade.gnome.org/sources.html

I followed instructions with the text "Install" in the sources. Then when I am trying to configure "build", I received following messages:

Configuration:

Source code location:   .
Compiler:   gcc
GTK+ UNIX Print Widgets: yes
PYTHON Widgets support: no
Introspection Data:      yes
Build Reference Manual:  no
Build User Manual:       

I am trying to find out on google how to download the program PYTHON Widgets support but without success.

So I am wondering if you know anything which can help me?

Answer 1

I managed to figure out the problem on my own. So it is very simple, use macports to install glade.

Step 1 : install X11 on your mac or update it

Step 2 : install Xcode

Step 3: install macports - macOS Sierra : https://github.com/macports/macports-base/releases/download/v2.3.5/MacPorts-2.3.5-10.12-Sierra.pkg

• OS X El Captain : https://github.com/macports/macports-base/releases/download/v2.3.5/MacPorts-2.3.5-10.11-ElCapitan.pkg

  • for other versions of os x, you can use this link: https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.source

Step 4: In terminal do:

sudo port install [email protected] 

or just

sudo port install glade

Answer 2

Easiest solution could be to install it via homebrew (https://brew.sh/):

$ brew install glade
