Usage information: this package was designed around gtk 971109, and there is
no guarantee it will work with any other distributions, or indeed even that
one. To build, install Gtk in your system, then run 'perl Makefile.PL', and
'make test', and then 'make install' if all went well.
Gtk is available at .
The code may very well still have leaks, and a few portions are incomplete
(such as Gdk colormap manipulation) and much of it is untested. As a point
of fact, I know that several parts of object deallocation and tracking are
broken, and may not be fixed for some time. No documentation currently
exists, but this code is designed to mimic the C calling sequences as much
as is reasonable.
If you have been using Gtk-0.1.8, several changes have been made to the API,
including the change of enumeration and flag values to lowercase (to match
the constants defined in gtk.defs), and the requirement for Gtk->init() to
be invoked before any other Gtk functions.
Please bring information regarding bugs and other issues to
or the author, at . I cannot
guarantee, at the moment, that any particular problem will be fixed.
Good Luck,
Ken
