Tip

On some platforms, you may see messages like

Gtk-Message: 20:15:48.288: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

These are harmless. If you want to suppress them, on Unix platforms you can add something like

export GTK_PATH=$GTK_PATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0

to your .bashrc file. (You may need to customize the path for your system; it should have a modules directory containing libcanberra.)

Gtk is precompilable by normal mechanisms. Julia 1.6 or higher is recommended as having much shorter load times than earlier Julia versions.

On very old Julia versions, you can use PackageCompiler. Be aware that this has downsides and should not be necessary on modern versions of Julia.

Gizmos/GtkObservables is designed to simplify the creation of GUIs using Gtk and Julia.
