Packaging Libgda UI extension

Overview of the components
Runtime component
GObject introspection
Tools
Control center
Gda browser
Development files

Libgda UI extension builds on top of Libgda and GTK+ to provide some graphical widgets, a control center (to manage DSN and list installed providers) and a browser program to analyze the contents of a database.

Overview of the components

Libgda UI's components are:

  • the runtime files (shared library)

  • the GObject introspection files (to be used by the GObject introspection framework)

  • the tools, which require the runtime component

  • the development files (the includes to compile C programs)

Please note:

  • the documentation and localization files are mixed with Libgda's ones

  • the tools have been described here as a separate component but it is highly recomended to bundle the tools with the runtime as they provide essential tools to the end user.
