Description

A set of basic GTK includes for the UI.

There are some tricky points to consider when including the basic GTKmm headers. Especially, GTK tries to shadow the ERROR macro from Microsoft Windows. Unfortunately this breaks the ERROR macro from NoBug; thus we need to include NoBug after GTK

Besides, this header defines the basic NLS. Most parts of the GUI rely on this header.

configuration and resource search

The GUI backbone retrieves the necessary configuration values from lumiera::Config, the config facade in the application core. Currently as of 2/2011 these values are loaded from setup.ini, because the full-blown config system is not yet implemented. Amongst others, this configuration defines a search path for icons and a separate search path for resources. These path specs may use the token $ORIGIN to refer to the installation directory of the currently executing program. This allows for a relocatable Lumiera installation bundle.

Warning

include here only what is absolutely necessary, for sake of compilation times and (debug) executable size.
