Continue development of GTK#

[aaronfranke]

The last commit was about 9 months ago. Please continue to develop GTK#! I tried to compile the demo project and it failed to compile on my system with Mono 5.12.

[migueldeicaza]

Can you share the details of what failed? We routinely build it with it.

[decriptor]

Are you targeting gtk 2.12? or gtk 3?

[aaronfranke]

For building GTK# itself: #244 and also when I try to run the sample project:

Other people reporting issues with builds have been ignored for months: #237

I have personally not done any maintenance work towards the gtk# 3.0 branch. The 2-12-branch branch is maintained and should build if you follow the ./bootstrap-2.12 && make steps. The project will then compile in the IDE (but it is preferred to use the commandline scripts)

[aaronfranke]

GTK 2 is outdated, I am only interested in GTK 3.
