How To Compile Gobby From Source: Mac OS X

The easy way:

Install DarwinPorts and you could get Gobby with one line of shell:

sudo port install gobby

But please be aware that it requires X11.app and a complete window toolkit which will compile itself on the way to install Gobby. It will take quite some time until all dependencies are installed, so you should probably run it over night.

The hard way:

Gobby requires many dependencies, this a rough guide on installing all those dependencies to get you up and running with Gobby from source.
