LablGtk

LablGtk is an OCaml interface to GTK+. It comes in two flavors: LablGtk1 for GTK+-1.2 and LablGtk2 for GTK+-2.0 to GTK+-2.16.

It uses the rich type system of OCaml 3 to provide a strongly typed, yet very comfortable, object-oriented interface to GTK+ while being compatible with its dynamic typing approach.

Most widgets and methods are available. In addition to GTK+, LablGtk provides bindings to libglade, gdk-pixbuf, gnomecanvas, librsvg, libpanel, the GLArea widget (in combination with LablGL) and OCaml code generation from .glade files. Many examples are available.

The toplevel can be used for interactive development. Windows is supported too (see the README for build instructions).

The project is developed on the OCaml Forge.

Download

lablgtk-2.14.2.tar.gz
Latest release of LablGtk2. It fixes a number of bugs, including an incompatibility between OCaml 3.12 and previous versions. See the changes for the details.
lablgtk-2.14.0-win32.zip
Windows binaries for the OCaml 3.11 distribution only (msvc or mingw) for both bytecode and native code. The required GTK+ dlls are available from the Gnome distribution. This is enough for bytecode but native code linking requires a development environment (installation instructions). There are no extra dependencies since this release has been built with mingw.
