wh1teduke / ngui Goto Github PK

Hi, I like what you have done with ngui
I have oldgtk3 installed, with nimble, but I would like to experiment with the gtk2 module. I tried this:

# nim c -d:release --opt:size -d:useMalloc --mm:orc --passC:-flto --passL:-flto --path:../../../0-gtk2/nim-gtk2-20210308/src --path:../src e1.nim

...giving nim the path to gtk2 module, but it insists on using oldgtk3. How do I tell nim to use gtk2 instead?

Note, I'm just getting into using Nim, checking out the GUI toolkits. My EasyOS distro is a bit retro and still uses a lot of gtk2 apps. I have a fondness for gtk2, though I know it is deprecated. Will use gtk3 if better supported by ngui.

I posted a quick look at 'ui' module to my blog:

But it is probably better to go for an all-Nim toolkit. I see there hasn't been much activity for awhile with ngui, but even so, my impression so far is that it is very nice.
