The contents of this directory are (basically) the first step in creating .NET bindings, to libraries based on GObject. WHO USES THE SOURCES DIRECTORY ------------------------------ This directory is essentially the starting point in the creation of a .NET binding. Most people can safely ignore it. (If all you want to do is build Gtk#, then you can ignore what's in this directory.) This directory is not part of the normal build process for Gtk#. But is instead used by people wishing to update an existing .NET binding; or to create a new .NET binding (for a GObject based library). The result of running "make api" on this directory (once everything is set up) are the various '*-api.raw' XML files that you find in the corresponding directories. Those XML files will then be used to generate the C# code. And then that C# code is used to create the various .DLL files. Please refer to http://www.mono-project.com/GAPI for a more complete and up-to-date guide to this process. WHAT'S REQUIRED --------------- Before you can do anything here, you need to get the source code to the various libraries (which you are generating .NET bindings for). And then do a little configuring. The current list of libraries that Gtk# supports is in the sources.xml and Makefile.am files. If you create a new binding that is part of Gtk#, be sure to add it to this list. There are two ways to get this source code, as you will see in the next section. SETTING THINGS UP ----------------- To set things up, you need to get the source code to the libraries listed above. There are two (alternate) methods of doing this. Method 1) Download and unpack the source code manually. Method 2) Run: make get-source-code (Method 2 is probably the easiest way to do it for most people. It automatically goes and downloads everything you need, and sets everything up for you.) For more information, please refer to http://www.mono-project.com/GAPI
