## Requirements - Rust **1.41**+ ## Installation Install `cargo pkg` by running: `cargo install cargo-pkg`. ## Initialize Project To create new project in GTK4, run `cargo pkg new -id "io.foo.Bar" --name "Foo Bar" foo-bar` This will create a project with ID `io.foo.Bar` with following structure in `foo-bar` directory. ``` ├── Cargo.toml ├── data │ ├── icons │ ├── io.foo.Bar.appdata.xml.in │ ├── io.foo.Bar.desktop.in │ ├── io.foo.Bar.gresource.xml.in │ ├── io.foo.Bar.gschema.xml.in │ └── resources │ ├── window.ui │ └── style.css ├── po │ ├── LINGUAS │ └── POTFILES.in └── src └── main.rs ``` ## Building & Installing Package Once your crate has been configured, run `cargo pkg install _build` to build release targets for your application and install to `_build` directory. To build and run application `cargo pkg run _build`. Cargo install flags can be supplied to `cargo pkg run _build` for example `cargo pkg run --debug -j 1 _build`. ## Setup Enviornment for GTK4 This section will setup GTK-4 enviroment even your destribution not providing latest GTK4 dependencies. If your distribution provides bleading edge GTK-4 dependencies you can ignore this section. Install flatpak if not exist. `apt-get` is for deb package manager ``` apt-get install flatpak ``` Add gnome-nightly repository to flatpak for latest GTK-4 dependencies ``` flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gnome-nightly https://nightly.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo ``` Add flathub repository for rust stable ``` flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo ``` Install gnome sdk and rust-stable sdk ``` flatpak install --user gnome-nightly org.gnome.Sdk//master -y flatpak install --user flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//20.08 -y ``` To get a shell inside an flatpak’s sandbox ``` flatpak run --env=PATH=$PATH:/lib/sdk/rust-stable/bin --share=network --filesystem=$(PWD) --command=sh org.gnome.Sdk//master ``` (Now you can go through Installation steps) ## License Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
