The recommendation would be to transition to Cocoa and Objective C. But
there are some prepackaged toolkits (gtk, gtk2, qt3, openMotif) here :

Then there is also the Mac OS X native implementation of Qt from
Trolltech:

Hope that helps.

Hi,
I am a unix application developer by day / Mac user by night. With the
Jaguar release then X11 I decided it was time to start learning to
develop
some applications for my Mac, X11 being a 'bridge' for me. For the
last two
years at work I have been making major mods to a legacy application
based on
Xview and a new application using Motif on Solaris 2.6 using CDE and
olwm,
both applications graphics intensive so making heavy use of Xlib,
written in
C.
I now have X11 developer tools but (of course) no Motif. Are the Aqua
interface widgets (windows, scroll bars, sliders, dialogs, etc)
available in
an integrated way with X11? If so, is there a good description of how
to use
/ integrate them. Or should I transition directly to Cocoa and learn
Objective C, the native Mac graphical interface, etc.
If these are dumb questions, or belong to a different group, please be
kind
and put me on the right track to get quickly up to speed on developing
Mac
graphical applications!
Colin
