GTK+ Forums

Hi, I am interested in programming with gtkmm. I notice that QT has a really nice, and populous, forum over at the qtcentre.org, and I wanted to know if this is the best forum for gtkmm. It really isn't nearly as busy as the qtcentre, but I would expect gtk+ to be just as popular, so... where are all the gtk+ forums? Thanks

The thing with GTK+ and Gtkmm is that most people use the mailing lists. This forum is moderately busy and we are always happy to help you with problems you are having though.

Hey thanks, i just signed up for the mailing list. Of course, for some reason on a mailing list I expect more "why don't you read the manual, jerk"-type responses than a forum run by people who are learning. As far as forums go, I've been really impressed with the patience and co-learning shown in, say, the Ubuntu forums. In a way, fellow beginners can sometimes be more help than experienced but impatient veterans. I expect a mailing list to have more of the latter type.

Anyways, thanks for your reply, and I'll keep this site in mind when I run into a roadblock.

Also, many issues with gtkmm may be GTK+ related and can we can guide you without expertise in C++. Not to mention the similarities between C and C++.

Before asking in the gtkmm mailing list, you might want to search for your question in the archives or on nabble, an unofficial archive site: http://www.nabble.com/Gtkmm-f1344.html
