I'm really looking forward to this... but help?

For those of you interested (in yet another windowing interface for
oorexx) you can download a zip file containing the result of 2 days
working with the free version of claude, including some 3 hour
intermezzos for over-consumption and about 10 iterations:
The download location is: https://www.idenburg.net/ooRexx/wip where
there is decription in html format and the rexx_gtk4.zip file
containing 6 other files:
hello.rex - a simple hello world in a window
counter.rex - a window with 3 buttons that
manipulate a counter of button clicks
form.rex - a form asking for name, email and
telnr in entry fields and a button to submit the values
Makefile - to compile and link the c(++) code
that follows
rexx_gtk4_bridge.cpp - the c(++) code used to implement the interface
in a shared library
rexx_gtk4_bridge.h - the necessary includes
I solelely use Linux nowadays, in my case Ubuntu or Mint and the
Makefile lists the development packages needed for a Ubuntu based
Linux system, but I guess can be easily adapted for other systems.
To use unzip the _rexx_gtk4.zip_ file in a directory of your choice
where you have write access to, possibly you may need to use /chmod
u+w */ to acquire writing rights.
To compile the shared library, with all necessary packages installed,
type:
make
This should result in _librexx_gtk4.so_ being generated in the same
directory,. To run the provided rexx scripts type:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. rexx ./hello.rex
That's it. Of course this is still a very provisional effort, but
shows some possibilities.The code is reasonably commented if you want
to dig into the internals.
It could be a starting point, the gtk4.cls file can possibly be
generated by using Gobject Introspection Repository functions and the
code generated via rexx_gtk4.cpp based on the input from gtk4.cls.
