[Koen van Besien <koen.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx>]

As a starting point I found:

https://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/OSX/Building#Prerequisites
https://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/OSX/Bundling

First step will be to build it and then check how to bundle it so its
easy to install.

Difficulty will be the Snow leopard/Lion/Mountain lion differences. As I am
running
Mountain Lion I will first try mountain lion.

Regards,

Koen
