The DTD for the XML files is included with libglade, and is +also at http://glade.gnome.org/glade-2.0.dtd. +Other tools are available which can turn the XML files into source code +in languages such as C++, Perl and Python. + + +About Glade-3 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This version of Glade (Glade-3) is a complete rewrite of the original +Glade codebase. +It has useful new features (Undo/Redo, MultiProject support) and has a +cleaner architecture, note however that it is not ready yet for everyday +use and lacks support for additional widgets, as Gnome and Gnome-db widgets. +One of the main differnces from glade-2 is that C code generation has been +removed from glade-3: this has been done on purpose, since using generated +code is deprecated; the preferred way to use glade files is with libglade. +Another important thing to note is that the XML format has _not_ changed, +so you can work on the same project both with glade-3 and with glade-2. +For a more details on what has changed, what still needs work, etc. see +the NEWS, BUGS and TODO files. +Comments, bug reports and patches are more than welcome. + + +License +~~~~~~~ + +Glade is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), as described +in the COPYING file. +Note that you are free to use whatever license you like for the source code +generated by Glade. (We do not consider the code generated by Glade to be +'a work based on the Program' as described at the start of the GPL.) + + +Requirements +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + o GTK+ 2.0.0 or above - http://www.gtk.org + You also need the glib, pango and atk libraries. + Make sure you have the devel packages as well, as these will contain the + header files which you will need to compile C applications. + + o libxml 2.4.1 - used to parse the XML files. If you have GNOME 2 you + should already have this. + + +Installation +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +See the file 'INSTALL' + + |
