James Newton did real port that will be ready for 0.12 release. So this page is out dated

Until then you can run Gajim on MacOS X following these steps. Currently the only way is to use Apple's X11.App until the gtk2 port to Cocoa is more mature.

Installing Dependencies (You need gcc for that, so install Apple's xcode before):

Install Darwinports for your system from (tested with 1.32):

http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/

Issue

sudo port -d selfupdate

Install gtk 2.10 :

sudo port install gtk2

Install pygtk2 :

sudo port install py-gtk2

Install glade :

sudo port install glade

Install Sqlite 2 :

sudo port install py-sqlite2

Install Subversion :

sudo port install subversion

Download the sources of gajim :

svn co svn://svn.gajim.org/gajim/trunk gajim

In order to use darwinports' python 2.4, change launch.sh to read:

#!/bin/bash cd dirname $0/src exec -a gajim /opt/local/bin/python2.4 -OOt gajim.py $@

Open X11.App and in the xterm window popping up, enter

sh launch.sh

to start gajim.
