Btw, if anyone in this latest thread doesn't know yet, you can substitute 3.20 into the URLs for documentation pointing at 3.22/3.24/stable and usually set something that's *almost* relevant, although 3.20 is increasingly old.

Failing that, hopefully your package manage installed the documentation into /usr/share/doc alongside the main package, or has a separate doc package available.

Third possibility: Download a tarball (.tar.xz file) from https://download.gnome.org/sources/, expand it, and read the documentation, starting at docs/reference/html/index.html.

I am also frustrated with the documentation available for gtkmm. I
have to instead look into gtk docs and try to guess the equivalent

or automating the whole process document generation.

Documentation *is* largely generated, and usually people complain about that instead because the generation (A) is inherently limited because not every C concept can be 100% accurately transformed to a C++ wrapping mechanistically and/or (B) said automation doesn't have all the features that it in theory could (but which I don't see Merge Requests for! ...yes, including from myself.)

I presume you've seen the gtkmm tutorial (in the gtkmm-documentation project). If there are specific things you are frustrated with, then you can submit an Issue or - better - Merge Request on GitLab to request or add examples for that. Otherwise, it's unclear what you want fixed, or where you think *more* automation could help (rather than hinder), so general frustrations don't really provide an indication of what could be improved.
