Hello.
I'm ok with using glib everywhere on the client, as long as you have fun with that :) Regards Nicolas Le jeudi 8 mai 2014 03:25:59, Kevin Zheng a écrit : > Hi there, > > The GTKv2 client sources are split up into two parts, one for "common" > code that can be shared across different clients, and a "gtk-v2" part > that implements the GTK+ client itself. > > GLib is a very useful library that provides portable data structures, > lexical scanners, threads, mutexes, timers, hook functions, and sockets. > Currently it is only used in the GTKv2 client because it is a dependency > of GTK+.
