GirFFI-Gtk

GirFFI-based Ruby bindings for Gtk+. Supports both Gtk+ 2 and Gtk+ 3.

Usage

Gtk+ 2:

require 'gir_ffi-gtk2'
Gtk.init
win = Gtk::Window.new :toplevel
win.show
GObject.signal_connect(win, "destroy") { Gtk.main_quit }
Gtk.main

Gtk+ 3:

require 'gir_ffi-gtk3'
Gtk.init
win = Gtk::Window.new :toplevel
win.show
GObject.signal_connect(win, "destroy") { Gtk.main_quit }
Gtk.main

See the examples/ directory for more examples.

Install

gem install gir_ffi-gtk

Requirements

First, make sure the ffi gem is properly installed. See its documentation for the necessary requirements.

GirFFI-Gtk itself depends on the GirFFI gem, and the gobject-introspection and gtk+ libaries.

For Debian-like systems, try the following for Gtk+ 3:

apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev gobject-introspection gir1.2-gtk-3.0

and for Gtk+ 2:

apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev gobject-introspection gir1.2-gtk-2.0

This gem has not been tested on Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows. YMMV. Pull requests to support these platforms are welcome.
