makegdesc

[Fredrik Tolf <fredrik dolda2000 com>]

Hi List!

(Note: I'm not subscribed, so please Cc me if you want me to see your
reply)

I'm writing this message because I thought I'd share something I made. I
was tired of writing GTK windows in C code by hand, and I've never
really liked Glade (probably because I don't really like GUI programs),
so I've written a Perl script called `makegdesc' that takes a really
simple description of a GTK window, and writes C code for it, which can
be #included into another program.

I've found it really practical, and I hope someone else might like it as
well. I wrote it for the "Dolda Connect" project that I'm working on, so
it's available through its SVN web:

<http://svn.dolda2000.com/svn/r/src/doldaconnect/common/makegdesc>

For some examples of the file format, see the following files:
<http://svn.dolda2000.com/svn/r/src/doldaconnect/clients/gtk2/inpdialog.desc>

<http://svn.dolda2000.com/svn/r/src/doldaconnect/config/dolconf-assistant.desc>
(The last one is yet incomplete, but still serves as reference)

Well, if you like it, have fun with it, otherwise you're free to ignore
it.
