Building GnuCash without X11

[Charles Day]

Greetings,
I am one of the GnuCash developers, so I read with some excitement Olaf
Foellinger's report that he was able to build GnuCash without X11. If I can
repeat his success and test it out, I hope that at some point we might be
able to begin offering GnuCash for Mac in native form.

However, I tried it myself without much luck. Perhaps someone could advise.

I have a brand-new MacBook Pro now (10.5.5), on which I installed MacPorts.
I started with the following:
sudo port install dbus +no_x11
sudo port install cairo +no_x11
sudo port install pango +no_x11
sudo port install gtk2 +no_x11

These all worked fine except for a few python stumbles which succeeded on
the next attempt. Once all that was finished, I tried:
sudo port install gnucash +without_hbci

The "+without_hbci" was just to remove a few dependencies, for a hopefully
greater chance of success. However, this failed when it reached the
desktop-gnome dependency, saying what I understand to mean "I'm trying to
build desktop-gnome +x11 but I need gtk2 +x11 and you have gtk2 +no_x11
instead."

--->  Configuring gnome-desktop
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: +x11 variant selected, but
gtk2+quartz is installed

I wasn't sure what to do at this point, so I tried:
sudo port clean gnome-desktop
sudo port install gnome-desktop +no_x11

However this failed too:

Forgive me if the answer is obvious, but this is my first day using MacPorts
and in fact I am new to Apple in general.

Cheers,
