This is eiffel-gtk 0.03.

Eiffel-gtk is software to create GUI programs with the GUI toolkit
gtk+, available from http://www.gtk.org, and SmallEiffel, the GNU
Eiffel compiler, available from http://www.loria.fr/projets/SmallEiffel/

This software has been developed and tested with gtk+-1.1.15 and
SmallEiffel -0.79.  It will not work with gtk+ below 1.1.8.

How to compile with eiffel-gtk: 

0. Make and install gtk+.  Be sure that gtk-config is on your $PATH
and that the GTK+ library directory is either on your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or mentioned in /etc/ld.so.conf.

1. Run make in gtkwrapper/external to compile the C utility functions.

2. Create the loadpath.se file in the directory with your sources. It
should look something like this:

./
/path/to/eiffel-gtk/gtkwrapper/
/path/to/eiffel-gtk/gtkwrapper/constants/

3. Create the gtk_cecil file. It should look like this: 

gtk_eiffel.h
gtk_eiffel_entry GTK_COMMAND_TYPE marshal
gtk_timer_entry GTK_TIMEOUT_COMMAND command_execution

(You can skip the last line if you code doesn't include any gtk_timer
or gtk_idle objects.)

4. Compile your program as follows: 

compile <class> <root> [eiffel-flags] -cecil gtk_cecil \
   -o program_name \
  -L/path/to/eiffel-gtk/gtkwrapper/external -leiffel-gtk \
  `gtk-config --libs`

That's it!  For more details, see the examples in the examples
and testgtk directories.

Acknowledgements: 

This work is based on Francois Penneneach's eiffel-gtk.  I would like
to thank him for letting me use and extend his code.  All errors are 
my own, however. 

Thanks to Joe Chott for lending me time on an Alpha to check 64-bit
correctness.
