Hello I'm starting my first GTK programming and I need some guidance. I've searching in Google little help, but I haven't found any full-filling guides yet to help me in this little project. Some kind of help I've found, but I'm sure that there is more and better helps with working examples. Also I'm trying to finding some useful commands to build a system wide program with functions like getenv() and system(). What else I should to noticed before I start this kind of project? Any help is welcome. Regards, Jarkko Elfving
You don't mention which programming language you are trying, I'll assume it's c You may be interested in Python if you are coming from Java Lots of RedHat (therefore Fedora) utilities are written in Python using PyGTK, it has wrappers / interfaces for lots of interesting things like GTK, GNOME etc plus good integration with Linux through. so for example os.getenv("HOME") os.system("ls -al") urls: http://www.python.org/ http://www.pygtk.org/ Hello World with Python and GTK http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/examples/helloworld.py There are also dedicated Python and GTK mailing lists / news groups where you will find lots of answers Regards Martin
