Good question.
I've been told that it violates the OS X EULA to run it virtualized
on Non-Mac Hardware. So... I haven't tried.

Quoting Phil Longstaff <plongst...@rogers.com>:
One further thought: can MacOS run in a VM on linux or windows? I
did the original webkitgtk work on ubuntu 8.10 using webkitgtk 1.0.1.
On windows, I've been trying to work with the latest webkitgtk
source (1.1.14) but have run into the same libsoup and other problems
that Herbert has. I don't have a mac, so I can't try a macos build.

I've never looked into the issue. Is there a build farm we can use
with different versions of linux distros so that we can check the
build and limitations? Otherwise, we're limited by what developers
and testers have. I suppose VMs could help with this.

That's the one combination I wasn't able to test (gtkhtml that

gtkprint). What platform are you on?
SuSE 10.3 (x86_64).
What version of gnome, gtk, and gnome-print do you have?
pkg-config --modversion libgnome-2.0
2.16.0
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
2.10.6
pkg-config --modversion libgnomeprint-2.2
2.12.1
Ah, yeah, Fedora-7 era GnomePrint (pre GtkPrint) libraries.
As we're in the process of moving completely to Webkit (at least
I hope that's the goal) I think it's /probably/ safe to ignore
these old libraries.
Well SuSE may be a bit slow on the gnome side. This distro is only about
one year old.
I revoke my statement. This coputer is still on SuSE 10.2 and the support
period for this distro has ended ...
Ahh, yeah, like I said, Fedora-7 era. I'm not sure offhand what version
of Gnome Fedora-8 or 9 has, but I would hope that we should support any
distros that were released by, say, May 1, 2008.
My only concern is going to be RHEL/CentOS. The most recent
release/update (5.3) probably still has a relatively old Gnome/Gtk. But
then again RHEL5 is old enough that it doesn't fall into the May 1, 2008
release-by date. So I honestly don't think I care that much about it.
GnuCash 2.2 works there just fine, and someone could backport the
dependencies if they really want to run bleeding-edge gnucash.
So I think we should target Fedora 9 and equivalent Ubuntu and SuSE
releases from early 2008.
