gtk ![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join Chat.svg)
Rust bindings and wrappers for GLib, GDK 3, GTK+ 3 and Cairo.
Building
gtk expects GTK+, GLib and Cairo development files to be installed on your system. Optionally, it is recommended to install the debug packages containing helpful debug symbols.
Debian and Ubuntu
> sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
> sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-0-dbg libglib2.0-0-dbg libcairo2-dbg
Fedora
> sudo yum install gtk3-devel glib2-devel
OS X
Install XQuartz, then:
> brew install gtk+3 --without-x11
> export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig
Windows
Install mingw-w64 (select the win32 threading model) and download a GTK+ SDK:
- The GNOME project has an official distribution of GTK+ 3.6: x86, x64.
- GTK+ for Windows Runtime Environment Installer: 64-bit supports GTK+ 3.14, its SDK downloads can currently be found here.
Make sure both mingw's and the sdk's bin
directories are in your PATH
e.g. (assuming mingw is installed in C:\mingw-w64
and the SDK unpacked into C:\gtk
)
C:\> set PATH="C:\mingw-w64\bin;C:\gtk\bin;%PATH%"
If your Rust installation has gcc.exe
and ld.exe
in its bin
directory, you may
get a linking error ld: cannot find -limm32
. In that case remove those executables,
they will be provided by mingw instead.
Versions and features
gtk targets GTK+ 3.6 and Cairo 1.10 by default, other versions support is enabled by requesting a corresponding feature e.g.
> cargo build --features "gtk_3_10 cairo_1_12"
Currently supported versions are GTK+ 3.4 to 3.14 and Cairo 1.10 to 1.12.
We are currently targetting rust master compiler to build gtk, make sure you have the latest version before submitting any bugs.
Examples are providing in the rust-gnome/examples repository, you can find some tests showing off the functionality, these can be built and run as follows:
> cargo build --release
# Or, if your system has GTK 3.10 or later
> cargo build --features gtk_3_10 --release
> ./target/release/gtktest
> ./target/release/cairotest
When building documentation don't forget to specify the feature set you're using:
> cargo doc --feature gtk_3_12
Your local copy can be accessed using your browser at
file:///{gtk_location}/target/doc/rgtk/index.html
You can also access a daily build of the docs via the internet:
http://rust-ci.org/jeremyletang/rgtk/doc/rgtk/
Including gtk as a cargo dependency
To include rgtk as a cargo dependency you have to add it to your Cargo.toml and specify the GTK version you want using Cargo features:
[]
= "https://github.com/rust-gnome/gtk.git"
= ["gtk_3_12"]
Use gtk
To implement GTK+ inheritance in rust, we implemented gtk superclasses as traits located in gtk::gtk::traits::*
. The various widgets implement these traits and live in gtk::gtk::*
.
For your convenience the various traits are reexported in the gtk::*
namespace as Gtk{trait_name}Trait
so you can just use...
extern
use *;
...to easily access all the gtk widgets and all traits methods:
let button = Button:new; // You have access to the struct methods of gtk::Button aswell
// as the trait methods from gtk::traits::Button as GtkButtonTrait.

You probably know but Gtk+ uses its own GObject system: inherited class and interface.
To respect this design, I follow a special design on gtk:
- Interface -> Implement them on a trait with only default methods.
- Class -> Implement the construct on the class impl and other methods on a traits.
- Sub-class -> Implement all the methods on the class.
Example for GtkOrientable, GtkBox, GtkButtonBox:
GtkOrientable is an interface with all methods implemented as default method of the trait gtk::traits::Orientable.
GtkBox is a class with constructors implemented on the struct gtk::Box
, and the other method as default methods of the trait gtk::traits::Box
. So gtk::Box
implements gtk::traits::Orientable
and gtk::traits::Box
.
GtkButtonBox is a sub-class of GtkBox, the struct gtk::ButtonBox
implements all the methods of GtkButtonBox and the traits gtk::traits::Orientable
and gtk::traits::Box
.
Finally, all the gtk widgets implement the trait gtk::traits::Widget.
