 Mac

-I think this should be quite similar to Linux, doing something like this:
+The least intrusive means to build on a Mac is to use Homebrew:
 
-% sudo port install gcc pkgconfig glib2-devel
-% ./configure
-% make
-% sudo make install
+http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/
 
-It may also be possible to use fink instead of macports.
+Install Homebrew according to its instructions.
+
+If you are building bookloupe for your own use, you can use dynamic linking
+like this:
+
+$ brew install glib
+
+and then install bookloupe using:
+
+$ ./configure
+$ make
+$ make install
+
+If you want to build bookloupe for other people to use, you will probably
+want to link staticly. To do this you need to edit the formula for glib
+and each of its dependencies (gettext and libffi) using something like:
+
+$ brew edit gettext
+
+Each time find the args statement which includes --prefix and insert
+--disable-shared,for example change:
+
+args = ["--disable-dependency-tracking", "--disable-rebuilds",
+           "--prefix=#{prefix}",
+           "--disable-dtrace"]
+
+to
+
+args = ["--disable-dependency-tracking", "--disable-rebuilds",
+           "--disable-shared",
+           "--prefix=#{prefix}",
+           "--disable-dtrace"]
+
+and then
+
+$ brew install glib
+
+before installing bookloupe as normal, but with the extra flag to configure:
+
+$ ./configure --disable-shared
+$ make
+$ make install
+
+Note that if you have previously used dynamic linking this may not work.
+(Homebrew doesn't seem to create .la files in a form that libtool can use
+when it is asked to prefer static libraries to dynamic ones.) Removing the
+dynamic libraries first will solve this problem.
+
+It may also be possible to use fink or macports.
