master: / mac(0.10):

This is a Rust binding for the wxWidgets cross platform toolkit.

wxRust API documentation

The wxRust library is heavily based on the wxHaskell's wxc library.

The wxc is a C language binding for the C++ wxWidgets toolkit.

We utilize the rust-bindgen automatic rust binding generator for its _unsafe low-level binding.

And we generate an OOP-style high-level binding (other modules than _unsafe) by codegen.py code generator.

We use CMake for cross platform build, but Windows platform is not yet tested.

For Linux build instructions, see INSTALL.linux.md

Use following Rust compiler version for your wxRust branch. We're using Servo master's one for main development.

Install the wxWidgets 3.0 (2.9.5 or later is required) and CMake as below (in the case of Homebrew):

brew install wxmac
brew install cmake

With some tweak you may be able to compile wxRust with a bit older versions (2.9.0 < x < 2.9.4) of wxWidgets. See issue #21 comments for details.

At the project root directory,

Checkout git submodules:

git submodule init # for the first time.
git submodule update

And generate Makefiles and make:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

At the CMake binary directory:

make test && ./test

On Mac, Run as below:

make Test.app
open ./Test.app # or open in Finder

At the CMake binary directory:

make doc

Generates a rustdoc documentation under doc directory.
