girtobac Documentation

Welcome to project girtobac, a tool to generate FreeBASIC (FB) header files for libraries based on GOject-Introspection, which is a middleware layer between C libraries (using GObject) and language bindings. The C library can be scanned at compile time and generate a metadata file, in addition to the actual native C library. girtobac can read this metadata and automatically provide FB bindings to call into the C library.

girtobac is the first approach to connect the FreeBasic programming language to this tool-chain for easy creating and up-dating FreeBasic header files of GObject based libraries (ie. like GTK, GDA, GooCanvas, ...).

The package is hosted at GitHub and it contains

  • the girtobac source code in folder src
  • the header GLib-2.0.bi in folder Gir
  • an example input file GIO-2.0.gir in folder example
  • several configuration files (*.GirToBac) in folder Gir
  • the configuration files to build the documentation in folder doc
  • the documentation context in .md files in root folder
  • CMake scripts to build the targets all, doc, doc_htm, doc_pdf
