README

        
# UI

This package wraps the [libui](https://github.com/andlabs/libui) C library. It

also provides a high-level Nim binding for it.

To get started, install using Nimble:

```bash

nimble install ui

```

or add it to your project's Nimble file:

```nim

requires "ui"

```

### Dependencies

- `gtk+-3.0`

Linux: `$ sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev`

OSX: `$ brew install gtk+3`

You should then be able to compile the sample code in the

[``examples/``](https://github.com/nim-lang/ui/tree/master/examples)

directory successfully.

## Static vs. dynamic linking

This library installs the C sources for libui and statically compiles them

into your application.

Static compilation is the default behaviour, but if you would prefer to depend

on a DLL instead, pass the ``-d:useLibUiDll`` to the Nim compiler. You will

then need to bundle your application with a libui.dll, libui.dylib, or libui.so

for Windows, macOS, and Linux respectively.
