1.2. Assumptions about the Reader
To use Gamma in GTK, you should have some familiarity with Gamma and GTK. Experience in object-oriented programming will also be useful.
1.3. System Requirements
Linux 2.2.5 or later.
GTK 1.2.8.
The SRR IPC kernel module, which includes a synchronous message passing library modeled on the QNX 4 send/receive/reply message-passing API. This module installs automatically, but requires a C compiler for the installation. You can get more information and/or download this module at the Cogent Web Site.
This module may not be necessary for some Gamma applications, but it is required for any use of timers, event handling, or inter-process communication.
