About

G-Golf is a Guile Object Library for GNOME.

G-Golf low level API comprises a binding to - (most of) the GObject Introspection and (some of) the GObject and Glib libraries, as well as additional (G-Golf) utilities - used to import GObject libraries and build their corresponding G-Golf high level API.

Note: to be precise, G-Golf imports (and depends on the existence of) a Typelib - a binary, readonly, memory-mappable database containing reflective information about a GObject library.

G-Golf high level API makes (imported) GOBject classes and methods available using GOOPS, the Guile Object Oriented System.

G-Golf is a tool to develop modern graphical applications.

G-Golf is under active development. This month, we are finalizing full support (a new approach) to VFunc, the GLib Object System virtual methods. We hope to be able to release a pre-alpha version within the end next few months. Meanwhile, if you want to try or just follow G-Golf, please consider installing from the source.

Documentation for G-Golf is available online as is documentation for most GNU software. You may also look at the G-Golf manual by running info g-golf or find it, if you installed G-Golf manually and did run make install-html, by looking at $prefix/share/doc/g-golf/g-golf.html/.
