    <section id="application"><title>Création de la fenêtre principale de l'application</title>
      <code mime="text/x-csrc"><![CDATA[static void
activate (GtkApplication* app,
          gpointer        user_data)
{
  GtkWidget *window;

  window = gtk_application_window_new (app);
  gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Hello World");
  gtk_window_set_default_size (GTK_WINDOW (window), 200, 100);
  gtk_widget_show_all (window);
}
]]></code>

    <p>GtkApplication initializes GTK+. It also connects the <gui>x</gui> button that's automatically generated along with the window to the "destroy" signal.</p>
    <p>We can start building our first window. We do this by creating a variable called <var>window</var> and assigning it a gtk_application_window_new</p>
    <p>The window title can be any string you want it to be. To be on the safe side, it's best to stick to UTF-8 encoding.</p>
    <p>Now we have a window which has a title and a working "close" button. Let's add the actual "Hello World" text.</p>
    </section>

    <section id="label"><title>Étiquette de la fenêtre</title>
      <code mime="text/x-csrc"><![CDATA[GtkWidget *label;

  label = gtk_label_new ("Hello World!");
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), label);
]]></code>

      <p>Finally, we create and run the application:</p>

      <code mime="text/x-csrc"><![CDATA[int
main (int    argc,
      char **argv)
{
  GtkApplication *app;
  int status;

  app = gtk_application_new (NULL, G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE);
  g_signal_connect (app, "activate", G_CALLBACK (activate), NULL);
  status = g_application_run (G_APPLICATION (app), argc, argv);
  g_object_unref (app);

  return status;
}]]></code>

      <p>GtkApplicationWindow can only hold one widget at a time. To construct more elaborate programs you need to create a holder widget like GtkGrid inside the window, and then add all the other widgets to it.</p>

    <section id="c"><title>hello-world.c</title>
      <p>The complete file:</p>
      <code mime="text/x-csrc" style="numbered">#include &lt;gtk/gtk.h&gt;

static void
activate (GtkApplication* app,
          gpointer        user_data)
{
  GtkWidget *window;
  GtkWidget *label;

  window = gtk_application_window_new (app);
  label = gtk_label_new ("Hello GNOME!");
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), label);
  gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Welcome to GNOME");
  gtk_window_set_default_size (GTK_WINDOW (window), 200, 100);
  gtk_widget_show_all (window);
}

int
main (int    argc,
      char **argv)
{
  GtkApplication *app;
  int status;

  app = gtk_application_new (NULL, G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE);
  g_signal_connect (app, "activate", G_CALLBACK (activate), NULL);

  g_object_unref (app);

  return status;
}

    <section id="terminal"><title>Running the application from terminal</title>
      <p>To run this application, first save it as hello-world.c. Then open Terminal, go to the folder where your application is stored.</p>
      <p>Compile the program:</p>
           <screen>gcc <var>hello-world</var>.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0` -o <var>hello-world</var></screen>
      <p>Run the program:</p>
           <screen>./<var>hello-world</var></screen>
    </section>
  </section>

  <section id="desktop.in"><title>The <file>.desktop.in</file> file</title>
      <p>Running applications from the Terminal is useful at the beginning of the application making process. To have fully working <link href="https://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/mime.html.en">application integration</link> in GNOME 3 requires a desktop launcher. For this you need to create a  <file>.desktop</file> file. The <file>.desktop</file> file describes the application name, the used icon and various integration bits. A deeper insight into the <file>.desktop</file> file can be found <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/desktop-entry-spec/">here</link>. The <file>.desktop.in</file> file will create the <file>.desktop</file>.</p>

    <p>The example shows you the minimum requirements for a <code>.desktop.in</code> file.</p>
    <code mime="text/desktop" style="numbered">[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Hello World
Comment=Say Hello
Exec=@prefix@/bin/hello-world
Icon=application-default-icon
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;
</code>

    <p>Now let's go through some parts of the <code>.desktop.in</code> file.</p>
    <terms>
      <item><title>Nom</title><p>The application name.</p></item>
      <item><title>Comment</title><p>A short description of the application.</p></item>
      <item><title>Exec</title><p>Specifies a command to execute when you choose the application from the menu. In this example exec just tells where to find the <file>hello-world</file> file and the file takes care of the rest.</p></item>
      <item><title>Terminal</title><p>Specifies whether the command in the Exec key runs in a terminal window.</p></item>
    </terms>

    <p>To put your application into the appropriate category, you need to add the necessary categories to the Categories line. More information on the different categories can be found in the <link href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html">menu specification</link>.</p>
    <p>In this example we use an existing icon. For a custom icon you need to have a .svg file of your icon, stored in <file>/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps</file>. Write the name of your icon file to the .desktop.in file, on line 7. More information on icons in: <link href="https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/AppIcon">Installing Icons for Themes</link> and <link href="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/icon-theme-spec">on freedesktop.org: Specifications/icon-theme-spec</link>.</p>

  <section id="autotools"><title>The build system</title>
    <p>Pour que votre application fasse partie intégrante de GNOME 3, vous devez l'installer à l'aide d'autotools. Autotools construit et installe tous les fichiers nécessaires et les place à leurs emplacements corrects.</p>
    <p>Auparavant, vous devez posséder les fichiers suivants :</p>
    <links type="section"/>

      <section id="autogen"><title>autogen.sh</title>
        <code mime="application/x-shellscript" style="numbered">#!/bin/sh

set -e

test -n "$srcdir" || srcdir=`dirname "$0"`
test -n "$srcdir" || srcdir=.

olddir=`pwd`
cd "$srcdir"

# This will run autoconf, automake, etc. for us
autoreconf --force --install

cd "$olddir"

if test -z "$NOCONFIGURE"; then
  "$srcdir"/configure "$@"
fi
</code>

      <p>After the <file>autogen.sh</file> file is ready and saved, run:</p>
      <screen><output style="prompt">$ </output><input>chmod +x autogen.sh</input></screen>
    </section>


    <section id="makefile"><title>Makefile.am</title>
      <code mime="application/x-shellscript" style="numbered"># The actual runnable program is set to the SCRIPTS primitive.
# # Prefix bin_ tells where to copy this
bin_PROGRAMS = hello-world
hello_world_CFLAGS = $(gtk_CFLAGS)
hello_world_LDADD = $(gtk_LIBS)
hello_world_SOURCES = hello-world.c

desktopdir = $(datadir)/applications
desktop_DATA = \
	hello-world.desktop
</code>
    </section>


    <section id="configure"><title>configure.ac</title>
      <code mime="application/x-shellscript" style="numbered"># This file is processed by autoconf to create a configure script
AC_INIT([Hello World], 1.0)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.10 no-define foreign dist-xz no-dist-gzip])
AC_PROG_CC
AM_PROG_VALAC([0.16])
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(gtk, gtk+-3.0)
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile hello-world.desktop])

AC_OUTPUT
</code>
    </section>


    <section id="readme"><title>README</title>
       <p>Information users should read first. This file can be blank.</p>

       <p>When you have the <file>hello-world.c</file>, <file>hello-world.desktop.in</file>, <file>Makefile.am</file>, <file>configure.ac</file> and <file>autogen.sh</file> files with correct information and rights, the <file>README</file> file can include the following instructions:</p>
      <code mime="text/readme" style="numbered">To build and install this program:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/your_username/.local
make
make install

-------------
Running the first line above creates the following files:

aclocal.m4
autom4te.cache
config.log
config.status
configure
depcomp
hello-world
hello-world.desktop
hello_world-hello-world.o
install-sh
missing
Makefile.in
Makefile

Running "make" links all the appropriate libraries.

Running "make install", installs the application in /home/your_username/.local/bin
and installs the hello-world.desktop file in /home/your_username/.local/share/applications

You can now run the application by typing "Hello World" in the Overview.

----------------
To uninstall, type:

make uninstall

----------------
To create a tarball type:

make distcheck

This will create hello-world-1.0.tar.xz
