BTW - there is only one package that is not in MacPorts in order to build spice-gtk and that is celt051. </div><div><br></div><div>I was attempting to use the MacPorts version of X to run spicec and spicy. BUT, I could not get the MacPorts version of X11 to work properly as per my last email.</div><div><br></div><div>Then I downloaded Xquartz's environment, to checkout the difference, but I could not get that to work either with very similar errors. There is probably something simple I am not doing to get them to work. But I can't spend any more time on them right now.</div><div><br></div><div>So, now I use the X11 environment that comes with osx when I actually run spiced and/or spicy. But I feel you are correct in saying that it is better to use the X11 system that comes with osx.</div><div><br></div><div>I was just attempting to notify others of these issues in hopes that it might help them to save some time.</div><div><br></div><div>Do you feel it is worth the time to build an Xcode project for building spicec and spice-gtk to distribute?</div><div>The visual debugger is sure nice in Xcode.</div><div><br></div><div>Everyone on this forum is so very helpful.
