So there are a number of gtk3 ports that have X11-specific code in them, and therefore only can use gtk3 +x11 . A similar problem occurs trying to use these ports on other systems with other backends (wayland, etc).</div><div><br></div><div>Here's a list of ports that do this from Dave a few years ago <<a href="https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41839#comment:10">https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41839#comment:10</a>>:</div><div><br></div><div><div class="comment searchable"><p> The following MacPorts GNOME ports are blocked from building with gtk3 +quartz due to this issue:
