-The simplest way I found to run Geany on OSX, while still being somewhat "native" is to use Macports. All of the other stuff I tried (Fink and Homebrew) caused Geany to run in Xorg, which is kinda nasty but this way will use the Quartz backend of GTK+. I'll quickly outline the steps to install it:+==== Binary Package ==== 
 +The easiest way to get Geany installed on your system is to get the precompiled version available [[http://download.geany.org/|here]]. The app bundle requires OS X 10.7 (Lion) or higher and a 64-bit CPU. The bundle includes most of the plugins (those not requiring additional dependencies) and color themes.
  
-  * Install [[http://www.macports.org/|MacPorts]] +==== Compiling from Sources ==== 
-  * Add this to ''/opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf'':+Geany compilation and creation of the above app bundle using jhbuild is explained in the [[https://github.com/geany/geany-osx|geany-osx project README]]. 
 + 
 +==== Using MacPorts ==== 
 + 
 +__Note:__ while MacPorts provides a Geany package, as of this writing the Geany version provided by MacPorts has some major issues (paste not working, infinite loop after using find in files). The current Geany master version already contains fixes for these issues and it is expected that Geany 1.25 will work alright with MacPorts. You can get all dependencies using MacPorts and compile the development Geany version to have fully working Geany under MacPorts.

 +To have native-looking Geany under OS X, add this to ''/opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf'':
