* [Building from source](#building-from-source)
* [Using the library](#using-the-library)
* [License](#license)
## 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
git clone https://github.com/cra0zy/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.
To create a new gtk app project, simply use `dotnet new` templating engine:
* install: `dotnet new --install GtkSharp.Template.CSharp`
* uninstall: `dotnet new --uninstall GtkSharp.Template.CSharp`
* generate project: `dotnet new gtkapp`
Visual Studio and MonoDevelop addins will be available in the coming weeks.
## License
GtkSharp and its related components are licensed under LGPL v2.1 license, see [LICENSE](LICENSE) for more details.
