Hi Peter,

Try a newer gcc that you might have installed (anything after 4.8 should work)

sudo port -v upgrade gtk3 configure.compiler=macports-gcc-6

$ port -v installed gtk3
   gtk3 @3.22.11_0+x11 (active) platform='darwin 8' archs='ppc' date='2017-03-27T23:41:54-0700'

Yes, this works for quite a lot of ports. GTK3 has now reached version @3.22.16.

Take over Dave's tickets for GTK and friends, now that he's formally dropped maintainership. Boo! ;-)

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Peter, is this still an issue?

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

The latest for Tiger available version of gtk built some days ago.
