+The simplest and least intrusive means to build on a Mac is to use Frau Sma's

+It may also be possible to use Fink itself.

+Creating statically linked binaries on a Mac using Homebrew
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you want to be able to distribute binaries of bookloupe to other Mac
+users, then they need to be statically (rather than dynamically) linked.
+Fundamentally this means that glib and its dependencies are included in
+the binary rather than being linked into the program by the Operating
+System each time it is run.

+Mac using MacPorts

+Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/.

+Install pkgconfig (required to build glib) and then glib itself:
