I grabbed the GTK tutorial from www.gtk.org ... I'm im Brazil, and for buy online
i need a international credit card, that's a lot hard here; first you need a
passport or a huge bank account to get one. Then those books are very far from
me; all i can do is read online docs and download and examine source codes
- and here another big problem for me: all code i found are about tools for
linux, that i can't compile and run.
To explain better my situation: My effort with GTK
is to port my apps to GTK, and with this done i'll finally can jump to linux. At
start i tried FLTK and VGUI - both are very incomplete; next i tried
phpGtk, a great tool, but interpreted and yet very instable; maybe in a year
will be stable, but i can't wait this; then wxWindows - is solid, complete,
but some strange limitations like no way to limit the size of an entry nor
make custom entry validations - and not only the visual of the apps isn't
granted to be the same in different OSs, but some features are
platform-specific. Now i'm trying GTK+: Here i found again all good things found
in phpGtk in a solid & fast enviroinment - and better than just C++
compiled: GNU C++ compiled. Then i stay here from now.
Then i'm asking for online GTK+ docs, tutorials and
platform-independent source codes. All clues are wellcome !
Thanks !
