C-KIT-GUI-GTK

is a user interface abstraction layer for C-programs
completely separates the application from the GUI-software
makes the application independent from the gui-system
is a graphical user interface toolkit simplifying the design of GUI's
is a C - library with sampleprograms
provides full OpenGL-integration
Linux interfaces to Gtk2 or Gtk3, 32-bit or 64-bit.
MS-Windows (XP, Win7) interfaces to Gtk2
Functions use standard datatypes
have a unified callback-interface

Programs using C-KIT-GUI-GTK:


gCAD3D

Linux Prerequisites:

  for using C-KIT-GUI-GTK:
    gcc, Gtk2 or Gtk3-runtime libraries

  for using C-KIT-GUI-GTK with OpenGL:
    libGL.so.1

  for modifications of C-KIT-GUI-GTK:
    gcc, Gtk-development-files (libgtk2.0-dev or libgtk-3-dev),
      OpenGL-development-files (eg mesa-common-dev), ctags.
    Installation of gtk3-development-files; eg for debian-os:
      sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-0-dev
      Optional:
      sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-0-doc
      sudo apt-get install gtk-3-examples

Linux Install:

start commandline (eg gnome-terminal)

cd
mkdir guiGtk2
cd guiGtk2
cp xxx/C-KIT-GUI-GTK-*-Linux.tar.gz .
gunzip C-KIT-GUI-GTK-*-Linux.tar.gz
tar xvf C-KIT-GUI-GTK-*-Linux.tar
cd gui

change gtk-version (VGUI):

vi options.mak

Rebuild / start examples:

make run -f hello-world.mak
make run -f tst_lst1.mak
make run -f tst_lst2.mak
make run -f tst_ed1.mak
make run -f tst_gui1.mak
make run -f tst_gui2.mak

If menu is not visible (on Ubuntu 11/12) do:

export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=

ReCreate the shared library:

make -f c-kit-gui-gtk.mak

Linux Uninstall:
cd
rm -rf guiGtk2

MS-Windows Prerequisites:
  for using C-KIT-GUI-GTK:
    MS-C-Compiler (gcc or MS-Visual-C (C++, Express))

  for using C-KIT-GUI-GTK with OpenGL:
    OpenGL32.lib, Glu32.lib (Microsoft SDKs)

  for modifications of C-KIT-GUI-GTK:
    the package contains all development-files;
    get the gtk-dokumentation from www.gtk.org.

MS-Windows Install (Win-XP and Win7):
Unpack C-KIT-GUI-GTK-*.**-MS.zip into directory %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%


all files are in directory  %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\guiGtk2
the registry is not affected / modified.

Rebuild / start examples:

  You will need a commandshell with the correct compiler-environment.
    You can use the Visual-Studio-Commandwindow or cmd.exe plus e.g.:
    "C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"
       (for VC8)
    Test MS-compiler with:
  cl /?

  %HOMEDRIVE%
  cd %HOMEPATH%\guiGtk2\gui
  nmake -f hello-world.nmak
  nmake -f tst_gui1.nmak
  nmake -f tst_gui2.nmak

ReCreate the shared library:

  cd ..\gui_gtk2_MS
  nmake -f libgui.nmak

MS-Windows Uninstall:
cd
rmdir/s %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\guiGtk2
