Hi Michael,

Thanks

Did you do that with XCode? Can you share details of the this build please?

I know and I was advised earlier that OpenGL (or GTK in general?) apps
will not work under Qartz from High Siearra on. I didn't really expect
the build to succeed but to my surprise, with many OpenGL deprecated
warnings, it did but failed to work correctly with the described
behaviour.

Can you help me determine that? (Or rather, give some instructions on
how to get and use the X11 variants.) I didn't know there were such
variants to these libs. Like I said I installed dependencies from
Homebrew repo. It's worth clarifying that, as mentioned earlier, this
partially functional 3d build only succeeds when it's linked with
"glew" Homebrew package (i.e. GLU_LIBS="-L/usr/local/opt/glew/lib" and
GLU_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/glew/include") and with HS OpenGL
framework. In this case configure detects GLU, in other cases refuses
to continue with 3d.

> Marcel do you happen to know if you are using +quartz or x11?

Again, I'm not sure but I think so. The GTK brew package info says
"--with-quartz-relocation" (see below). Does this confirm it IS the
Quartz variant?

I'm able run gnubg, after make install, as the command "$ gnub" or "$
gnubg -w" from terminal console and the GTK window pops up (in
background) and the GUI is fully functional. (This is the same for
1.04 and 1.05 when SIMD and 3d is off.)
