## Building from source
Pre requirements for building from source are that you have .Net Core and msbuild installed on the system.
To build the repository, first clone it:
```sh
2017-10-30 19:43:08 +00:00
git clone https://github.com/GtkSharp/GtkSharp.git
cd GtkSharp
```
and then simply run either `.\build.ps1` or `./build.sh` depending your operating system.
If you wish to generate the nuget packages simply add the `--BuildTarget=PackageNuGet` as an argument when calling the build script.
A breakdown on how the source is structured:
* Tools that are needed to generate wrapper code are found in [Tools](Source/Tools) folder
* The actual wrappers code is found in [Libs](Source/Libs) folder
* Templates are located in [Templates](Source/Templates) folder
* Build script is separated between [build.cake](build.cake) and [CakeScripts](CakeScripts) folder
## Using the library
On both Windows and Linux the library assumes that you have Gtk installed on your system. See [Installing Gtk on Windows](https://github.com/cra0zy/GtkSharp/wiki/Installing-Gtk-on-Windows) wiki page for more details on how to do it on Windows.
