Gtk2 1.151 (unstable)

[Torsten Schoenfeld <kaffeetisch gmx de>]

Gtk2 is a Perl extension providing Perl bindings to the 2.x series of  
the Gtk+ graphical user interface library.  This module allows you to  
write graphical user interfaces in a perlish and object-oriented way,  
freeing you from the casting and memory management in C, yet remaining 
very close in spirit to original API.  Find out more about Gtk+ at 
http://www.gtk.org , and about Gtk2-Perl at 
http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/ .

This is an unstable development release of Gtk2, containing new
features and other cool stuff that have been added since the 1.14x
stable series.  Report any bugs to gtk-perl-list AT gnome DOT org as
soon as possible.  Please use the stable 1.14x series for important
work.

The source code is available from the gtk2-perl project page on  
sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64773&package_id=91218&release_id=476906

...and from anonymous cvs, tagged "rel-1-15-1" in the directory  
/gtk2-perl-xs/Gtk2 .

This module requires these other modules and libraries:

   perl >= 5.8.0
   Glib >= 1.150 (perl module)
   GTK+ > 2.x (C library and prerequisites)

If GTK+ is as new or newer as 2.8, the Cairo module is also required:

  Cairo >= 1.00 (Perl module)

In order to build it from source, you'll also need

   ExtUtils::Depends >= 0.2
   ExtUtils::PkgConfig >= 1.03
   development headers for gtk+ and friends
