macOS Installation Steps?

[spencerking]

Are there recommended installation steps for Mac users? I do not see any in the documentation. I have installed Gtk.jl with Pkg and installed Gtk3 with Homebrew: brew install gtk+3. When I try to run:

using Gtk

win = GtkWindow("My First Gtk.jl Program", 400, 200)

b = GtkButton("Click Me")
push!(win,b)

showall(win)

I do not see any output. No window appears and no errors are logged in the terminal.

you do not need to install via brew. And what you should see is window popping up. Have just tried and here it works.

@tknopp Do you have any advice on how to debug this issue? When I check my pkg status I can see that [4c0ca9eb] Gtk v1.1.6 is installed. I have the code from my first post in a file example.jl and when I run julia example.jl nothing happens.

That is supposed to happen. You need to startup Julia and then include("example.jl"). If that works, there is also a section in the manual how you can start a Gtk application with julia example.jl (you need to prevent Julia prom terminating)

Ah I see, thank you for your help
