It's Mac OS, not MacOS. 

Note that Ethereal doesn't work on pre-X Mac OS, in case somebody sees
".macos" and thinks it'll work on OS 9 or earlier versions.

Explain that GLib and GTK+ now need to be shared libraries, and that
the GLib 1.x and GTK+ 1.x release tarballs were built with an older
version of libtool that didn't support building them as shared libraries
on OS X.

This file tries to help building Ethereal for MacOS X
This file tries to help building Ethereal for Mac OS X (Ethereal does
not work on earlier versions of Mac OS).
The changes to enable libwiretap and libethereal being built as shared
libraries have broken shared gtk1 builds on MacOS X. It seems that the
gtk1 libs don't work when linked into a shared library. The alternative
to build Ethereal as one big statically linked binary isn't working
either (and may never have worked on this OS).
libraries have broken shared gtk1 builds on Mac OS X. The GLib 1.x and
GTK+ 1.x release tarballs were built with an older version of libtool
that didn't support shared libraries on Mac OS X, so you can't build and
install them as shared libraries, but the shared-library build of
Ethereal requires GLib and GTK+, on Mac OS X, to be shared libraries.
The alternative to build Ethereal as one big statically linked binary
isn't working either (and may never have worked on this OS).
The way out of this situation is to use gtk2 and associated libraries
which is known to work in this constellation:
