gobject-introspection is available nowadays, only that it is disabled if
you do a universal build.

The universal build is a bit tricky to handle due to the design of gobject
introspection. Anyway the universal builds are no longer maintained, the
last version of Mac with a 32 bits kernel is Lion and the last Mac with a
32 bits arch is from 2006.

with a couple of friends, and it works just fine. The bad news is that I
started this 2 years ago based on the gstreamer.com fork, and my attempts
to feed back these fixes into the mainstream went nowhere. This may well be
because I wasn’t aware of the differences between the gstreamer.com
community and the gstreamer.freedsktop.org community and contacted the
wrong people, I don’t know. But anyway: so far my mods haven’t seen wide
adoption.

a mod to the gtk build process that is needed to expose NSViews from
widgets so they can be used for GStreamer rendering from Python. The
cerbero recipe for gtk builds from a tarball, should I add a patch, or
should I build gtk from a forked git repository? Any help on how I feed
this back to the Btk developers?

the relevant repository and add a branch?
