setup on fedora required code changes

[jpercyasnet]

I am running on fedora 33 and installed rust and gtk4-devel using dnf. When trying to get rust to compile I had to add [dependencies] gtk4 = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4.git" } to the Cargo.toml (just using gtk = .. did not work) Also I compile the basic.rs code in the example, but any reference to gtk, I had to change to gtk4. Is this an issue?

Can you describe what exactly you were compiling and how? gtk4 = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs.git" } would be correct for a crate outside this repository.

[jpercyasnet]

this is the main.rs file:

//! # Basic Sample
//!
//! This sample demonstrates how to create a toplevel `window`, set its title, size and
//! position, how to add a `button` to this `window` and how to connect signals with
//! actions.
use gtk4::prelude::*;

use std::env::args;

fn build_ui(application: &gtk4::Application) {
    let window = gtk4::ApplicationWindow::new(application);

    window.set_title(Some("First GTK Program"));
    window.set_default_size(350, 70);

    let button = gtk4::Button::with_label("Click me!");

    window.set_child(Some(&button));

    window.show();
}

fn main() {
    let application =
        gtk4::Application::new(Some("com.github.gtk-rs.examples.basic"), Default::default())
            .expect("Initialization failed...");

    application.connect_activate(|app| {
        build_ui(app);
    });

    application.run(&args().collect::<Vec<_>>());
}

and this is the Cargo.toml file:

[package]
name = "basictest"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["jp"]
edition = "2018"

[dependencies]
gtk4 = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4.git" }

just did the normal cargo new basictest and executed cargo run in the new directory.

Yes that looks correct but you should better use https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs.git instead of https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4.git. You're currently using the old repository.

What exactly is the problem though?

We should archive all the old gtk4 repositories as they are just very confusing and are not useful any more.

Done!
