General Information
===================

This is Glade, a user interface builder for GTK+.

Glade's home page is currently:
  http://glade.pn.org

GTK+, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit, is a library for creating graphical
user interfaces for the X Window System. GTK+ version >= 1.0.2 is needed
(Glade should now also compile and run with GTK 1.1)
  http://www.gtk.org/

You also need autoconf & automake if you want to build the C source files
which are written by Glade.
  http://www.cygnus.com/~tromey/automake/

To build the source code that Glade creates you should be able to just type
'make' - the configure script should be built automatically.

Note that source code to handle styles isn't included yet,
nor is full support for a few widgets: pixmap, toolbar.

C++ source code output is being developed by Christof Petig
  http://home.wtal.de/petig/
Perl & Python output is also under development.

Glade is in the early stages of development. It's not fully functional yet.
See the 'TODO' file for current status & planned future developments.
The 'doc/manual.txt' file gives a very brief overview of using Glade.

Glade now supports gettext, and includes Portuguese (Brazilian), French,
and German translations (though these are not all complete).
To use these set your LANG environment variable to "fr", "de" or "pt_BR"
before running Glade (e.g. "setenv LANG pt_BR" in csh or
"export LANG; LANG=pt_BR" in sh). See 'ABOUT-NLS' for more info.

Comments/suggestions welcome.


Installation

How to report bugs
==================

To report a bug, send mail to glade@glade.pn.org

In the mail include:

* The version of Glade

* Information about your system. For instance:

   - What version of GTK+
   - What operating system and version

  And anything else you think is relevant.

* How to reproduce the bug. 

* If you can, send a stack trace. To do that, start gdb with 'gdb glade',
  start glade with 'r', do whatever causes the crash, and then type 'bt' in
  the debugger to print a stack trace.
