I wasn't sure whether you mean "not use Macports" to install clutter or not use Macports at all.... sorry if the rest of this email is useless (I don't have any experience with jhbuild).

You can easily compile and install from source, but you can't dodge Macports very easily when it comes to resolving clutter dependencies.

You will need to have the Developer Tools installed etc. as you would normally for Macports. Also X11 is required methinks.

The deps off the top of my head:

% sudo port install glib2
% sudo port install gobject
% sudo port install pango
% sudo port install cairo

This will likely cover most of the dependencies, though there might be a few holes that will become obvious during the configure.

Download the tarball, unzip it etc.:

$ configure --with-flavour=osx
$ make all
$ sudo make install

Bob's your uncle.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I've been trying with no success to install the latest clutter on my Leopard machine. I'd rather not use Macports because it's probably out of date (and in fact isn't working at all for me right now). I read Emmanuel's post from March (http://lists.o-hand.com/clutter/0912.html ) but I'm not familiar with Jhbuild and haven't had any success with it. Anyone come up with a simpler way to get clutter up and running?

Thank you.
