The Gtk# website can be found at: http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharp
Gtk# is a .NET language binding for the GTK+ toolkit and assorted GNOME
libraries. Gtk# is free software, licensed under the GNU LGPL.
Building & Installing Gtk#:
---------------------------
Install the gtk-3 development headers first. On Debian, this can be done using:
apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
The build is the traditional:
./configure
make
make install
You may want to consider using configure's prefix option to install
Gtk# using the same prefix as Mono. That way all of your .NET assemblies
get placed in the same place, and you don't need to do any extra "configuring"
to make it so mono (and mint) can find your assemblies. In other words,
doing something like:
./configure --prefix=/the/path/that/was/used/for/mono
make
make install
(Of course, replace "/the/path/that/was/used/for/mono" with whatever path
which was used for Mono. This might have been "/usr", "/usr/local", or
something similar.)
If you are compiling from GIT, you will need libtool and the auto* tools
and will need to replace the configure above with autogen.sh.
Discussion & Support:

Also, people can get help with and discuss Gtk# on IRC via the
#gtk# or #mono channels on the irc.gnome.org IRC server.
People looking for general help with C# should visit the
#c# channel on irc.freenode.net IRC server.
