§Rust GDK 4 bindings
The project website is here.
Rust bindings of GDK 4, part of gtk4-rs.
§Minimum supported Rust version
Currently, the minimum supported Rust version is 1.70.
§Documentation
- The Rust API Stable/Development
- The C API
- GTK Installation instructions
§Using
We recommend using crates from crates.io, as demonstrated here.
If you want to track the bleeding edge, use the git dependency instead:
[dependencies]
gdk = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs.git", package = "gdk4" }Avoid mixing versioned and git crates like this:
# This will not compile
[dependencies]
gtk = {version = "0.1", package = "gtk4"}
gdk = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs.git", package = "gdk4" }§Features
