# GtkSharp

GtkSharp is a C# wrapper for Gtk and its related components. The component list includes the following libraries: glib, gio, cairo, pango, atk, gdk. This is a fork of https://github.com/mono/gtk-sharp and is maintained completely separately from that project.

Differences can be seen with the following table:

|               | Target framework   | Target Gtk Version                                 | Extra notes                   |

|:--------------|:-------------------|:---------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------|

| GtkSharp      | .NET Standard 2.0  | Gtk 3.22                                           | Does not need glue libraries. |

| mono/gtksharp | .NET Framework 4.5 | Gtk 2 (also Gtk 3.0 but never officially released) |                               |

## Building from source

Pre requirements for building from source are that you have .Net 6 installed on the system.

To build the repository, simply do:

```sh

git clone https://github.com/GtkSharp/GtkSharp.git

cd GtkSharp

dotnet tool restore

dotnet cake build.cake

```

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 macOS, you'll need to manually install Gtk, see [Installing Gtk on Mac](https://github.com/GtkSharp/GtkSharp/wiki/Installing-Gtk-on-Mac) wiki page for more details on how to do it.

* [GtkSharp](https://www.nuget.org/packages/GtkSharp/)

* [GdkSharp](https://www.nuget.org/packages/GdkSharp/)

* [GioSharp](https://www.nuget.org/packages/GioSharp/)

* [GLibSharp](https://www.nuget.org/packages/GLibSharp/)

* [AtkSharp](https://www.nuget.org/packages/AtkSharp/)

* [PangoSharp](https://www.nuget.org/packages/PangoSharp/)

* [CairoSharp](https://www.nuget.org/packages/CairoSharp/)

* [GtkSourceSharp](https://www.nuget.org/packages/GtkSourceSharp/)

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`
