# hare-gi
GObject Introspection code generator for Hare. In short, it creates bindings for
GTK family of libraries (GTK+, GDK, Pango, etc).

## Generating and installing bindings
Dependencies:
* An up-to-date [Hare] toolchain
* [hare-fastxml]
* Development files for the desired GTK version and its dependencies. Make sure
`/usr/share/gir-1.0` is included.

A few core libraries do not ship GIR XML files by default. They can be obtained
from gobject-introspection:

```
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gobject-introspection.git
meson setup build/
ninja -C build/

# The path where this is downloaded will be used later
```

### GTK 3
```
./generate <path to gobject-introspection>
make install
```

### GTK 4
```
./generate4 <path to gobject-introspection>
make install4
```

## Running examples
### GTK 3
```
make demo
./demo
```

### GTK 4
```
make demo4
./demo4
```
