Yes, I used GTK+ with the quartz backend from the sources available at that 
site. I tried building using the jhbuild script and the build process that they 
suggested but that resulted in a couple of failures for some packages, probably 
because it was blindly compiling for x86_64, when there were 32-bit Carbon 
dependencies in the packages. 

So, I ran the jhbuild anyway, looked at the build log, noted down the build 
order, and manually compiled all the required files and patched the GTK+ 
sources for Mac OS X 10.6.4. After that, GNU Radio's configure was able to pick 
up the GTK+ installation. 

Here is the procedure for replicating this for the GTK+ part and using Quartz 
backend. I didn't use libpng,libjpeg and libtiff for this build. I also ignored 
the doc generation utilities.

I did some basic dial tone tests, using GRC and it worked fine. I still have to 
test out the main GNU Radio stuff with the UHD driver.


Step 45.00: Install GTK+, which is required for GRC.

GTK+ additionally requires the following libraries:

libpng
gtk-osx-docbook
gnome-doc-utils
gtk-doc
libjpeg
libtiff
expat
perl-xml-parser
perl-xml-simple
hicolor-icon-theme
gnome-common
intltool


glib
pixman
freetype
fontconfig
cairo
pango
atk
gtk+


 Step 45.01: Install expat-2.0.1.

$ cd expat-2.0.1
$ ./configure CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.0' CPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' 
CXX='/usr/bin/g++-4.0' CXXCPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' CFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch 
x86_64' CPPFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' CXXFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' 
LDFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' --disable-dependency-tracking
$ make -j 6
$ sudo make install


Check the file architecture.

$ file /usr/local/lib/libexpat.dylib

/usr/local/lib/libexpat.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/usr/local/lib/libexpat.dylib (for architecture i386):  Mach-O dynamically 
linked shared library i386
/usr/local/lib/libexpat.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit 
dynamically linked shared library x86_64


 Step 45.02: Install hicolor-icon-theme-0.11.

$ cd hicolor-icon-theme-0.11
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install


 Step 45.03: Install glib-2.24.1. (32-bit only, need to create a universal 
binary later on).

GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as 
GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability 
wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, 
threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.

$ cd glib-2.24.1

$ ./configure CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.0' CPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' 
CXX='/usr/bin/g++-4.0' CXXCPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' CFLAGS='-arch i386' 
CPPFLAGS='-arch i386' CXXFLAGS='-arch i386' LDFLAGS='-arch i386' 

$ make -j 6
$ sudo make install


Check the file architecture.

$ file /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.dylib

/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386


 Step 45.04: Install pixman-0.16.0.

Pixman is a library that provides low-level pixel manipulation features such as 
image compositing and trapezoid rasterization.

$ cd pixman-0.16.0
$ ./configure CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.0' CPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' 
CXX='/usr/bin/g++-4.0' CXXCPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' CFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch 
x86_64' CPPFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' CXXFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' 
LDFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' --disable-dependency-tracking
$ make -j 6
$ sudo make install


Check the file architecture.

$ file /usr/local/lib/libpixman-1.dylib

/usr/local/lib/libpixman-1.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit 
dynamically linked shared library x86_64


 Step 45.05: Install freetype-2.3.11.

$ cd freetype-2.3.11
$ ./configure CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.0' CPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' CFLAGS='-arch i386 
-arch x86_64' CPPFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' LDFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch 
x86_64' --disable-dependency-tracking
$ make -j 6
$ sudo make install


Check the file architecture.

$ file /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib

/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures

/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit 
dynamically linked shared library x86_64


 Step 45.06: Install fontconfig-2.7.3.

$ cd fontconfig-2.7.3
$ ./configure CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.0' CPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' CFLAGS='-arch i386 
-arch x86_64' CPPFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' LDFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch 
x86_64' --disable-dependency-tracking
$ make -j 6
$ sudo make install


Check the file architecture.

$ file /usr/local/lib/libfontconfig.dylib

/usr/local/lib/libfontconfig.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit 
dynamically linked shared library x86_64


 Step 45.07: Install cairo-1.8.8. (32-bit only, due to Carbon dependency).

Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. 
Currently supported output targets include the X Window System, quartz, win32, 
and image buffers, as well as PDF, PostScript, and SVG file output. 
Experimental backends include OpenGL (through glitz), XCB, BeOS, OS/2, and 
DirectFB.

$ cd cairo-1.8.8
$ ./configure CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.0' CPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' 
CXX='/usr/bin/g++-4.0' CXXCPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' CFLAGS='-arch i386' 
CPPFLAGS='-arch i386' CXXFLAGS='-arch i386' LDFLAGS='-arch i386' 

cairo (version 1.8.8 [release]) will be compiled with:

The following surface backends:
  Image:         yes (always builtin)
  Xlib:          yes
  Xlib Xrender:  yes
  Quartz:        yes
  Quartz-image:  no (disabled, use --enable-quartz-image to enable)
  XCB:           no (disabled, use --enable-xcb to enable)
  Win32:         no (requires a Win32 platform)
  OS2:           no (disabled, use --enable-os2 to enable)
  PostScript:    yes
  PDF:           yes
  SVG:           yes
  glitz:         no (disabled, use --enable-glitz to enable)
  BeOS:          no (disabled, use --enable-beos to enable)
  DirectFB:      no (disabled, use --enable-directfb to enable)

The following font backends:
  User:          yes (always builtin)
  FreeType:      yes
  Win32:         no (requires a Win32 platform)
  Quartz:        yes

The following functions:
  PNG functions: yes

And the following internal features:
  gcov support:  no
  test surfaces: no (disabled, use --enable-test-surfaces to enable)
  ps testing:    no (requires ghostscript)
  pdf testing:   no (requires poppler-glib >= 0.9.2)
  svg testing:   no (requires librsvg-2.0 >= 2.15.0)

$ sudo make install

 Step 45.08: Install pango-1.28.1. (32-bit only, due to Carbon dependency).

Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on 
internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed; 
however, most of the work on Pango so far has been done using the GTK+ widget 
toolkit as a test platform. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for 
GTK+-2.x.

dependency).


$ cd atk-1.30.0
$ ./configure CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.0' CPP='/usr/bin/cpp-4.0' CFLAGS='-arch i386'

 Step 46.00: Install Python GTK+ wrapper.

 Step 46.01: Download and build gobject-introspection-0.9.6. (Not working, 
error linking to x86_64 when not specified.)

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gobject-introspection/0.9/gobject-introspection-0.9.6.tar.bz2

$ cd gobject-introspection-0.9.6

we couldn't build it).

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygobject/2.21/pygobject-2.21.5.tar.bz2

$ cd pygobject-2.21.5

CPPFLAGS='-arch i386' LDFLAGS='-arch i386' 

The following modules will be built:

atk
pango
pangocairo
gtk with 2.20 API
gtk.unixprint

The following modules will NOT be built:

gtk.glade

Numpy support: yes

$ make -j 6
$ sudo make install

Ensure that you update the PYTHONPATH variable with the location of the pygtk 
installation package. This is not normally added, unless you explicitly make a 
call 

 /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0

This is not normally added, unless you explicitly state that you require the 
pygtk 2.0 as follows:

try:
    import pygtk
    pygtk.require('2.0')
except ImportError:
    pass
import gobject
import gtk
