Good questions. For the Mac package I'm using the latest stable gtksourceview-2.0,
namely version 2.10.5. The dependencies for building this are satisfied by what's in
the GTK 2.14 framework plus what's on OS X already (e.g. libxml2).
With one exception: there are a few lines of code that depend on GTK 2.16, but these are
not essential and I have a small patch that fixes that.
I can easily make available in some public place (a) my patch and/or (b) a (universal or
single-architecture) package containing the dylib and headers for gtksourceview 2.10.5.
I'm quite sure that both (a) and (b) would be most welcome.
In fact, I might as well attach the patch here in case you'd like
to try it yourself.
I have applied the patch. I also needed to get intltool (version 0.40.6) which I assume
is only needed for the build phase. I've been able to build a static as well as
dynamic library of gtksourceview.
Thanks very much for this.
