	<a href="http://www.gnome.org">GNOME</a> platform . 

* Wiki

	There is a <a
	href="http://www.nullenvoid.com/gtksharp/wiki/index.php/">Gtk#
	Wiki</a>.  You are encouraged to contribute to it.

** API of Gtk#

	The Gtk# API is documented using the ECMA XML document format, you can read
	more about it <a href="documentation.html">here</a>.  You can
	also use the MonoDoc tool that ships with Gtk# documentation.

** Where to learn more.

	Visit the official site for the <a href="http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net">Gtk# Project</a>.
	The <a href="http://www.go-mono.org/faq.html">Mono FAQ</a> has some useful
	information too.
	
** GTK# On Linux

<p>Where to get distributions of GTK# for Linux: 
	<ul>
		<li><a href="http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net">RPMs</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.debianplanet.org/mono/">Debs</a></li>
	</ul>

<p>Buidling on Linux:

<ul>
	<li>Get GTK# source from <a href="http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net">Gtk# Project</a>.</li>
	<li>run ./autogen.sh --prefix=my_mono_installation_prefix</li>
	<li>make</li>
	<li>make install</li>
</ul> 

** GTK# On Windows

<p>Look at our Wiki for installation instructions <a href="http://www.nullenvoid.com/gtksharp/wiki/index.php/InstallingBeginnersGuide">here</a>


<p>If you want to build GTK# yourself on Windows:

<p>To build gtk# under windows, you will need the following:

<ul>
 <li>cygwin from <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">here</a>  When installing Cygwin via setup.exe, 
   by default binutils and other tools do not get installed; you have to make 
   sure to select these items.  Just make
   sure Base and Development are set to Install.</li>
 <li>Mono 0.17 or later from <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/download.html">here</a>
  You can use Windows Setup Wizard (NT/2000/XP).</li>
 <li>GTK+ 2.0 (and dependencies).  You can obtain gtk+ 2.0 by either of the
following:
	<ul>
		<li>You can get a Windows Installer at:
	          <a href="http://www.dropline.net/gtk/download.php">here</a> </li>
		<li>or get the separate binary and dev/lib packages at
           at <a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html">here</a> </li>
        <li>or binary package from Dev-C++ site <a href="http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/gtk.html">here</a> </li>
		<li>or get Gtk4Win <a href="http://wingtk.sourceforge.net/index.html">here</a> </li>
		<li>or the source at <a href="http://www.gtk.org/">here</a> </li>
     </ul>
  </li>
 <li>binary distriubtion of a current web browser
  like Internet Explorer 4.0, Mozilla 1.0, or Netscape 7.0 which
  includes things like msvcrt.dll.</li>
 <li>Microsoft .NET Framework at
  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/000/976/msdncompositedoc.xml&frame=true">here</a> </li>


<p>Environment Variables to set:
<ul>
<li>PATH - set to your mono installation bin and lib path.
  For example, my mono installation prefix is:
<pre>
F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install
</pre>
  <p>So, I would set my PATH in the Windows Control Panel as:
<pre>
F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/bin;F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib</li>
</pre>
</li>
<li>LD_LIBRARY_PATH - set to your mono installation lib path</li>
<li>PKG_CONFIG_PATH - set to your mono installation lib/pkgconfig path, such
 as,
<pre>
  F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig</li>
</pre>

 <p>If you got the gtk-sharp source, cd to the gtk-sharp directory, type:
<pre>
 ./autogen.sh --prefix=~/mono/install
</pre>

 <p>Set your --prefix= to whatever your mono installation prefix is located.
 This will take awhile to go through the ./autogen.sh and ./configure...

 <p>After that it finishes succesfully, you run make with the makefile.win32
 like:
<pre>
 make -f makefile.win32
</pre>

 <p>After that finishes succesfully, you can copy to your mono installation lib
 path like:
<pre>
 cp */*.dll ~/mono/install/lib
</pre>
</ul>

<p>The pkg-config files for
gtk+ 2.0 and dependencies will need to be set correctly if they haven't
already been.

<p>Look in your mono installation/lib/pkgconfig, such as,
<pre>
F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig
</pre>

<p>You will find files like: gtk+-2.0.pc

<p>Edit the line that says

<pre>
 prefix=something
</pre>

<p>And set it to your mono installation prefix, such as,

<pre>
 prefix=F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install
</pre>

<p>Do this for all the .pc files in that directory.  If there are not any, then
you will need to create them.  Or get them from somewhere like the dev
packages at
<a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html">here</a>
