This is a C++ backend for glade, the GUI designer for Gtk. 
This means this program reads glade files and outputs a C++ program source
skeleton for you.  
Each (marked) GUI class has a derivative user class for you to modify and
extend.

We use this at work, so it's functionality is somewhat biased towards the 
parts of gtk we use. And since my time is limited, I didn't implement each
property of each widget.

If you feel something important is missing, please add it and don't forget
to send me your patch so I can include it in future revisions. You might as
well ask me whether the feature is planned in the near future.

-------------------------- REQUIREMENTS -----------------------------

You need (at least!):
- glade http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~damon/builder/index.html or check out
		the most recent snapshot at cvs.gnome.org
	for creating the files

to compile glademm
- gcc 2.95 or up

to compile your programs
- gtk+ (1.2.x recommended) (http://www.gtk.org/)
- gtk-- (1.2.x recommended) (http://gtkmm.sourceforge.net/)
- GNU autoconf (http://www.fsf.org/)
- GNU automake (http://www.fsf.org/)
- please make sure that you have the development packages of the needed
  libraries installed, too. (Those containing the .h files)

I also recommend to take a look at my gtk--addons which are available
at cvs.gnome.org. 

---------------------------- USAGE --------------------------------------

simply compile by invoking 
	./configure
	make
	[make install]

create program files
	glade-- --sample sample.glade
or use glade's 'gear' button.
	
Compile your programs by invoking
	cd dir_of_.glade_file
	./autogen.sh (or make)
	
----------------- HOW TO GET IT --------------------------------------

The current (public) source code is available at
	[anon]cvs.gnome.org .
Read http://developer.gnome.org/ ... for more information.

Releases of this program are at
	http://home.wtal.de/petig/Gtk/ .

It's quickly evolving, so you if you got glade-- elsewhere 
you might take a look at this URL now (or even better check out the cvs
version)!
