I roughly followed the instructions found here:
http://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/index.php/EiffelOnMac

I adjusted the paths.
The instructions seem to imply that if you put the application in
/Developer/Applications, then ISE_EIFFEL would be
/Developer/Applications/Eiffel57. That can't be right.
/Developer/Applications/Eiffel57 would not exist. It would be
/Developer/Applications/Eiffel57.app

But that isn't right either. The good stuff lives further down in the
app package.
I found them at
/Developer/Applications/EiffelStudio57.app/Contents/Resources/Eiffel57

So here is my setup:
Apple's X11 is installed
I used http://www.macports.org
to install gtk2 with the command:
sudo port install gtk2
I put EiffelStudio57.app in /Developer/Applications/
I added the following lines to my .profile (and .bashrc)

export PATH="/opt/local/bin:$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
export ISE_PLATFORM=macosx-x86
export
ISE_EIFFEL=/Developer/Applications/EiffelStudio57.app/Contents/Resources/Eiffel57
export GOBO=$ISE_EIFFEL/library/gobo # Only needed if you want to use
gobo
export PATH="$PATH:$ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin:$GOBO/bin"
export
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib:/usr/local/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/local/lib

To run it enter "estudio" in a X-Term window

Note the occurances of "/opt/local/..." in the environment is to
support the MacPorts libraries and binaries.
