GTK+Android

The current code base DOESN'T WORK on the modern NDK versions. The last known version it did work with was r10. Some attempts to solve this incompatibility are hopefully introduced in this repo's forks here on GitHub.

GTKAndroid

This is a set of hacks, makefiles and configs allowing you to run GTK-based forms on Android platform.

Please see build instructions

Known issues/limitations of this 0.1alpha version:

• It may take a few seconds for something to appear on the screen, when you run the app for the first time. (fontconfig processes all the system fonts then)

• All libraries are statically linked atm (several of them are LGPL-licensed, which may be inappropriate for some applications)

• Only "C" locale is supported by libc on Android

• No soft keyboard support yet

gtkandroid's Issues

libintl.h problem

I do not know how you did before ,but It's 2018 now,and now the NDK kit provided by Google does not longer contain libintl.h header.I tried to find some replacement,but they all won't work.
So I just want to ask you for the header(or libraries) that you used to build.

python clibs/getLibs.py script fails on freetype library

Like the title says.

Solution:

Comment out line 256 which currently reads:
dl.download("freetype/distsrc", "http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.5.4.tar.bz2")

And create a line after it that reads:
dl.download("freetype/distsrc", "https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-old/freetype-2.5.4.tar.bz2")

as the repo directory structure appears to have changed.

EDIT: I noticed the domain in the update is different as well, and I have no idea of the security implications of that, so heads up fair warning, I used it.

EDIT2: found the "gnu.org" domain link and updated again. Relax security neck hairs a little perhaps.

What is the current status of the project?

I see a fork that was updated 3 months ago, are there any plans to continue working?
The idea of running GTK apps on Android sounds very cool. Especially with the advent of LibHandy, I think the naivety of the view can be solved with the help of themes.

i can not build native app

i can build share lib libgtka_test.so,
when i build native c app(only use c called gtk api), when it links share lib libgtka_test.so ,

notes: i use win7 with android-ndk-r10b i pray you can understand what i say ,poor en...
