Well in that case, GLFW seems to run fine on OSX. See http://glfw.sourceforge.net http://glfw.sourceforge.net/ GLUT is portable but has many different implementations. I already had a couple of nasty bugs using it (different keyboard handling, incorrect joystick support, etc). So it's best to always include the GLUT library that was used when you did your testing Jules Bean wrote:

OSX-native Gtk is not that far away though.
But, that's certainly one of the reasons I'm using plain GLUT at the moment.
