Hello,
Is it possible to compile Emacs so that it uses GTK on other platforms
than GNU/Linux?
I ask because I would like to test the emacs xwidgets branch on these
platforms.

It can probably be done under Mac OS X. I don't think you can make an X11
build under Windows, OTOH.

Of course, you could also try it in a GNU/Linux VM.

Hello.
I assume you want Gtk with a backend which is not X11?
This is not possible as the event handling for Gtk in Emacs is the X11 event code.

Okay, I can try an X build on OS X then.

You mean OS-X and Windows in virtual machines? Yes that's what I
intended to do.

Okay, so the event handling code would then need to somehow be ported to
a gtk event loop, which I presume is a massive undertaking.

"Massive" is an overstatement, it has at some point in time been made for the NS and w32-port, so it is not unheard of.
I suspect it will have to be made sometime in the future, as we employ some (either already, or soon to be unsupported) tricks to make it work.
