gotk4

A GTK4 bindings generator for Go.

Package documentation | Package examples | GIR documentation | Progress tracker

All generated packages are in pkg/. The generation code is in gir/girgen/.

Examples are put in another repository, diamondburned/gotk4-examples, along with instructions on getting started with using these packages. Refer to its README for more information.

As of the time this README was written, most of pkg/gtk/v4 and pkg/gtk/v3 are ready to be used for most purposes. However, memory leaks and sometimes crashes may occur in certain parts of the API, while other parts might be completely missing. In that case, an issue should be opened.
