The Gtk# website can be found at: http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net/

Gtk# is a .NET language binding for the GTK+ toolkit and assorted GNOME
|
|
libraries. Gtk# is free software, licensed under the GNU LGPL. The target
|
|
is the 2.2 platform, and no plans are currently in place to backport to 1.2.
|
|
|
|
The effort essentially boils down to an exercise in PInvoke against the C
|
|
dynamic libraries. It may end up being slow as hell, but we'll see when we get
|
|
there and adjust accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Building & Installing Gtk#:
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
To compile Gtk# on Win32 using the .NET framework compiler and libraries,
|
|
in the top level directory, type:
|
|
|
|
make -f makefile.win32
|
|
|
|
The Linux 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 CVS, you will need libtool and the auto* tools
|
|
and will need to replace the configure above with autogen.sh.
|
|

|
|
|
Also, people can get help with and discuss Gtk# on IRC via the
|
|
#mono channel 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.

Developers:
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
For developers wishing to "get started" with Gtk#, they are encouraged
|
|
to read the Mono Hand Book:
|
|
|
|
http://www.go-mono.com/tutorial
|
|
|
|
In the Mono Hand Book, Chapter 21 is on Gtk#. (In the Mono Hand Book,
|
|
the Gtk# .NET bindings are refered to as GNOME.NET.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hackers:
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
For those who wish to help with the development of Gtk#, they should
|
|
read the file named: HACKING.
|
|
|
|
Also, anyone wishing to hack Gtk# is encouraged to join the Gtk#
|
|
mailing list. And to visit the #mono IRC channel (on irc.gnome.org).
