Does building with the changes from '0.48.x-valerio-osx-integration.patch' require the latest git version of gtk-mac-integration or is an older port already installed (based on the Portfile for v1.0.1 [1]) sufficient? Or phrased differently: you don't happen to have a current portfile available which would allow to install gtk-mac-integration from git as regular port? (Installing from external sources directly into a MacPorts prefix might be feasible if one has a dedicated MacPorts tree used once to compile and bundle a specific Inkscape package - otherwise it is not really an option (IMHO)).

2) Configure checks, GTK+ backend

> +inkscape_LDFLAGS = --export-dynamic $(kdeldflags) $(mwindows) -lgtkmacintegration
(…)
> +#ifdef __APPLE__
> +#include "osx-integration.h"
> +#endif /* __APPLE__ */

As far as I understand, the patch '0.48.x-valerio-osx-integration.patch' assumes that building Inkscape on OS X is done (unconditionally) with the Quartz backend of GTK+ (checking only for PLATFORM_OSX and __APPLE__), and will likely fail otherwise (since gtk-mac-integration is not available for the X11 backend)? Would it be possible to add more specific checks for the GTK+ backend and the availability of gtk-mac-integration to continue supporting builds with either backend, similar to the tests and checks used in this branch [2]?

Attaching updated MacPorts portfile for gtk-mac-integration 2.0.1 (port name: gtk-osx-application), to a large extent based on
<https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37700>

Changes:
- new variants for gtk+ version
- remove patch for gtkosxapplication.h (fixed upstream)

Use variant +gtk2 to avoid building against GTK3 (automatically detected by configure and linked to if present). Note: +gtk3 variant is more of a stub (untested).

[su_v (suv-lp)]

MacPorts has now updated gtk-osx-application to 2.0.1, too:
<https://trac.macports.org/changeset/102041>

[su_v (suv-lp)]

'gtk-mac-integration-MacPorts.zip' removed - MacPorts maintainer needs to find better solution to address build failure in 'src/coca-menu-item.c':

(Note: unpatched verison fails with clang on Lion, workaround: use llvm-gcc.4.2 instead)
