[winswitch] Build procedure for Mac...

[Perry E. Metzger via shifter-users]

Howdy! I am a MacPorts committer, and was thinking of adding a
Portfile to build the Mac client to MacPorts.

Is there a good explanation of the build process for the Mac
client somewhere on the web site?

Building and installing xpra itself is trivial:
./setup.py build
./setup.py install
Tracking down all the dependencies is harder. For that, you should be
able to use the jhbuild moduleset files that we use:
https://xpra.org/trac/browser/xpra/trunk/osx/jhbuild
Feel free to ask any questions if you get stuck.
Note that xpra does not use X11 at all on MacOS, so you will need a
native build of GTK.

Cheers,
Antoine

MacPorts handles dependencies internally.

Yah, I'm aware. This gets slightly sticky because we can't currently
install both native and x11 GTK at the same time, but I'm thinking of
fixing that anyway.

That's my point: we ship a full-featured DMG (or PKG) on MacOS.
With MacPorts, you have more freedom which means you will need to decide
which dependencies are enabled by default and which ones are optional.
You can use the Debian control file and/or the RPM specfile to help you
figure out which dependencies are not strictly required.

That would be great. This would allow us to build a "real" xpra server
for seamless X11 apps on MacOS and have it co-exist with the native client.
