GTK4 odin bindings

Showcase
1

Hello odin-community,

I want to share with you the GTK bindings that I was working on in the last month. You can find them on github: GitHub - PucklaJ/odin-gtk: Odin Bindings to GTK4
They have been generated using runic which is a bindings generator that I wrote. You can also find it on github: GitHub - Samudevv/runic: Bindings Generator and Intermediate Format for languages using the C-ABI

These bindings provide the following libraries:

Library Path License
glib glib LGPL 2.1
gobject glib/gobject LGPL 2.1
gmodule glib/gmodule LGPL 2.1
gio glib/gio LGPL 2.1
girepository glib/girepository LGPL 2.1
gdk-pixbuf gdk-pixbuf LGPL 2.1
pango pango LGPL 2
pangocairo pango/pangocairo LGPL 2
cairo cairo LGPL 2.1
graphene graphene MIT
gtk gtk LGPL 2.1
gtk4-layer-shell gtk/layer-shell MIT

Feel free to use these bindings however you want. But I need to mention that they currently only support Linux x86_64 and arm64. I am currently not able to work on Windows support, but I ident to do this in the future.

I follow the instructions, I get this:

just setup && just wrapper
cd shared/glib && meson setup --default-library static -Dman-pages=disabled -Ddtrace=disabled -Dsystemtap=disabled -Dsysprof=disabled -Dtests=false -Dglib_debug=disabled -Dintrospection=disabled _build

ERROR: Neither source directory '_build' nor build directory None contain a build file meson.build.
error: Recipe `glib-setup` failed on line 30 with exit code 1

But it seems to work that way.

The instructions might be a little bit unclear. But you don’t have to build the wrapper anymore. Static libraries are provided. But thanks for pointing out this issue. I will fix it.

It seems that you forgot to checkout the submodules:

git submodule init
git submodule update

But as I said you don’t need to do this anymore, if you just want to build the wrapper.

Hi!
I just recently started learning Odin so this is still a bit out of my scope atm, but I really appreciate the bindings. Big fan of Adwaita and I cannot wait to write an app in Odin.

Thanks!!
