This demo shows how I(personal use case) use to organize view and controller data in a gtk-rs program. Also, this example shows a lot of stuff about styling widgets, use drag and drop and how to use widgets references.
- What do you need to start?
You will need the gnu toolchain of rust for windows, because we can use Msys2, whats makes easier to maintain libraries available to compiler, than the microsoft toolchain. Using Msys2 we have access to pacman tooling.
-
Installing Rust GNU toolchain - On rustup tool, just change the first option from stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc to stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu(remember to choose the correct architecture for you pc).
-
Installing Msys2 - Download Msys2 and just do a default install.
-
Installing mingw gcc compiler - In msys2 bash shell, just type the command below:
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
- Installing gtk3 - In msys2 bash shell, just type the command below:
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3
- Installing glade - In msys2 bash shell, just type the command below:
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glade
- Build and run the Demo - You will need to build using msys2 shell or put mingw-gcc on path.
$ cargo run
