gtk4-layer-shell

This is the safe wrapper for gtk4-layer-shell, automatically generated from its .gir file. For details on how to use it or how to generate the code yourself, have a look at the crate's README. The unsafe bindings can be found in this folder. You need to have gtk4-layer-shell installed on your system to use this crate. Because it is new, you probably have to build it from source. If you did that, you might also have to set the following two environment variables:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

These crates are GTK4 only. Checkout gtk-layer-shell or gtk-layer-shell-sys if you want the GTK3 versions.

Maintenance status

These crates are just wrappers for the C library so it is feature complete and not actively worked on. The C library was recently released so there might be frequent changes. I try to keep up with them so the crate might get frequent updates and could break things. If you encounter any problems, feel free to open a PR.

Contributing

Pull requests are very welcome but please keep the maintenance status in mind.

Comments

Are changes needed to get the linking order right?

The order of the linking is important for the original C library (https://github.com/wmww/gtk4-layer-shell/blob/main/linking.md). The example worked just fine without paying attention to it. Was this a coincidence or is it somehow automatically done correctly?

gtk4-layer-shell-sys: Run gir without warnings
Running gir -o . returns:

[WARN libgir::parser] <boxed name=Some("TreeRowData")>

Fix the warning and the workaround in the CI to ignore one error

CI: Remove workaround of setting the environment variables
Because gtk4-layer-shell is built and installed from source, the lib is in a different path. Two environment variables need to be set to make the builds work. Remove this from the CI once gtk4-layer-shell is installed as a package

This is the code to be removed:

- name: Export environment variables run: | export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
