Re: How to open a browser from Gtkmm app?

Hi,

there is no Gtkmm binding, so one must use the Gtk+ function:
GError *error = NULL;
gtk_show_uri(gdk_screen_get_default(), some_uri, 
gtk_get_current_event_time(), &error);
if (error)
{
	// display error->message
}

I also found that the Windows build does not support the file:// scheme.
