[Spice-devel] OSX spice-gtk and pyparsing

[Mosebach Kai]

I think having a xcode project would be quite nice. Furthermore a cocoa
client completely based on spice-client-glib would be the better option
compared to (native) gtk imho. I guess having a look at the Cord project
(http://cord.sourceforge.net/) might be a good start (they ported freeRDP
into a really nice cocoa app).

Cheers Kai

PS : The spice-gtk-0.6 builds nearly without any hacks on osx. I will try
to provide a patch for the Makefile in ./gtk soon (regarding the sym-file
issue)...
