* Gtk# Gtk# (Gtk sharp) is a set of C# language bindings for the Gtk+ toolkit and other libraries that are part of the GNOME platform . * Wiki There is a Gtk# Wiki. You are encouraged to contribute to it. ** API of Gtk# The Gtk# API is documented using the ECMA XML document format, you can read more about it here. You can also use the MonoDoc tool that ships with Gtk# documentation. ** Where to learn more. Visit the official site for the Gtk# Project. The Mono FAQ has some useful information too. ** GTK# On Linux

Where to get distributions of GTK# for Linux:

Buidling on Linux:

Get GTK# source from Gtk# Project.
run ./autogen.sh --prefix=my_mono_installation_prefix
make
make install

** GTK# On Windows

Look at our Wiki for installation instructions here

If you want to build GTK# yourself on Windows:

To build gtk# under windows, you will need the following:

cygwin from here When installing Cygwin via setup.exe, by default binutils and other tools do not get installed; you have to make sure to select these items. Just make sure Base and Development are set to Install.
Mono 0.17 or later from here You can use Windows Setup Wizard (NT/2000/XP).
GTK+ 2.0 (and dependencies). You can obtain gtk+ 2.0 by either of the following:
- You can get a Windows Installer at: here
- or get the separate binary and dev/lib packages at at here
- or binary package from Dev-C++ site here
- or get Gtk4Win here
- or the source at here
binary distriubtion of a current web browser like Internet Explorer 4.0, Mozilla 1.0, or Netscape 7.0 which includes things like msvcrt.dll.
Microsoft .NET Framework at here

Environment Variables to set:

PATH - set to your mono installation bin and lib path. For example, my mono installation prefix is:
```
F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install
```
So, I would set my PATH in the Windows Control Panel as:
```
F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/bin;F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib
```
LD_LIBRARY_PATH - set to your mono installation lib path
PKG_CONFIG_PATH - set to your mono installation lib/pkgconfig path, such as,
```
  F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig
```

If you got the gtk-sharp source, cd to the gtk-sharp directory, type:

 ./autogen.sh --prefix=~/mono/install

Set your --prefix= to whatever your mono installation prefix is located. This will take awhile to go through the ./autogen.sh and ./configure...

After that it finishes succesfully, you run make with the makefile.win32 like:

 make -f makefile.win32

After that finishes succesfully, you can copy to your mono installation lib path like:

 cp */*.dll ~/mono/install/lib

The pkg-config files for gtk+ 2.0 and dependencies will need to be set correctly if they haven't already been.

Look in your mono installation/lib/pkgconfig, such as,

F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig

You will find files like: gtk+-2.0.pc

Edit the line that says

 prefix=something

And set it to your mono installation prefix, such as,

 prefix=F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install

Do this for all the .pc files in that directory. If there are not any, then you will need to create them. Or get them from somewhere like the dev packages at here ** GTK# On FreeBSD TODO. Any volunteers? ** GTK# On Solaris TODO. Any volunteers? ** GTK# On AIX TODO. Any volunteers?
