Re: [gnome-love] Enhancement of the gnome-search-tool

[Christian Sasso <christian sasso gmail com>]

Hi,

I remember that few years ago when I used Gnome for a little project of mine, the two most difficult things I had to overcome had been:
(1) the use of Autotools to build stuff (I remember I used part of the automatically generated output of the Anjuta IDE to get over this one)
(2) to know which library/frameworks to use

For (2) I wished there had been a page indicating what library/framework to use for each common task with an explicit indication of what library/frameworks NOT to use, because they have been deprecated. I read the documentation problem improved A LOT in these past few years, so maybe there is already such page somewhere on the Gnome website and someone will let Pablo know about it.

Regards, chris

 From the experience I have had, I would recomend you the "Official GNOME 2 Developer's Guide2", which you can find here:

http://home.cs.tum.edu/~siegel/files/tog2dg.pdf

I bought this one and wouldn't recommend it. By the time I bought it, a few years ago, it already had a fairly big amount of deprecated stuff in it. For exemple one of the first lessons in the book is how to use GMemChunk, which has been replaced by GSlice a few years ago. Same for libglade, and many other things.

One could read this book, but with a constant eye on the official up-to-date documentation on library.gnome.org to carefully check before reading that a chapter doesn't learn how to use deprecated API.

Cheers,
