1 GTK+ Object Builder (GOB)
2 (George's Obfuscated Bits)
4 Very simple preprocessor for making GTK+ objects with inline C code so that
5 generated files are not editted. Syntax is inspired by java and yacc or lex.
6 The implementation is intentionaly kept simple, and no C code parsing is done.
9 - C is a perfect (well mostly) language, no need for another language
10 - Writing a fully featured GTK+ object is a hassle
11 - Need for a generator that doesn't require changes to generated code
12 - I like how Java writes method code directly into the class
17 run "./configure;make"
20 run "make install" as root, or just take the gob binary and place
24 run gob with the .gob file on the command line
27 two (.c and .h) files named by the object name with words
28 separated by a hyphen (not neccessairly the .gob file prefix)
30 How to write .gob files?
31 1) read "man gob" for some documenation on how to use GOB
32 2) if you can't find what you need, read src/test.gob for an
34 3) If you still can't find what you need, read src/lexer.l
35 and src/parse.y (in other words: RTFS)
37 How to include gob inside your project:
39 Put the gob distribution into a subdirectory in your main
40 project directory. Use the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS to include that
41 directory in your configure run. And finally add a file called
42 NOINST_GOB into your toplevel project directory (this can be done
43 inside your configure script in fact) so that gob doesn't install
44 itself. Then just use the made gob binary as you would other
50 - add warnings all over the place
