Project site

Rust bindings and wrappers for GTK 3, part of gtk3-rs.

Minimum supported Rust version

Currently, the minimum supported Rust version is 1.51.0.

Building

gtk expects GTK, GLib and Cairo development files to be installed on your system. See the GTK installation page.

Using

We recommend using crates from crates.io, as demonstrated here.

If you want to track the bleeding edge, use the git dependency instead:

[dependencies]
gtk = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk3-rs.git" }

Avoid mixing versioned and git crates like this:

# This will not compile
[dependencies]
gtk = "0.13"
gtk = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk3-rs.git" }

Documentation

• Rust API - Stable
• Rust API - Development
• C API
• GTK Installation instructions

Generate the docs:

> cargo doc --features dox

(if the installed GTK+ version is lower than 3.16, adjust the feature name accordingly).

Contribute

Contributor you're welcome!

See the general bindings documentation.

Most of the bindings (src/auto) are generated by gir using this configuration file. After editing Gir.toml the sources can be regenerated with

> make gir

When opening a PR please put the changes to the src/auto directory in a separate commit.

You may also wish to run cargo clippy -- -D warnings and check that you're clean because otherwise you may be surprised when CI fails.
