The GTK-OSX port of GRAMPS for Mac is a single, stand-alone bundle which uses the native quartz windowing system instead of X11.
Mac GRAMPS is available for both Intel and PPC Macs. OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is presently required; WebKitGtk doesn't presently work on earlier versions. The distribution page carries both a binary application that should work as soon as it is downloaded.

You'll find error messages in the console log, which you can view with /Applications/Utilities/Console.app
==Bugs==
 
All of the known bugs in 3.1.2 have been corrected in 3.2.4 and later. There will no doubt be new ones; report them in the usual way on [http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/my_view_page.php Mantis] ([http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Using_the_bug_tracker instructions]). When reporting what you're sure is an OSX specific bug, please set the Platform field to "mac" (no quotes, caps, or spaces!) so that I can find it easily.
The 3.1.2 bugs are described at [[Mac gtk-osx port bugs]].
== Packaging ==
 
To make an uploadable disk image, create a folder named "Gramps-arch-version", replacing "arch" with either Intel or PPC and "version" with the current version number. Drag your app bundle to this directory. Open your build directory and copy (option-drag) the files "FAQ", "COPYING", "README", and "NEWS" to the Gramps folder you just made. Rename each to have a ".txt" extension so that they're readable with QuickLook. You might also rename COPYING to License.txt so that it's meaning is more clear to users who aren't familiar with the GPL.
