What is Devhelp FOR LINUX?

Devhelp

Devhelp is a cool open-source tool that helps you browse API documentation for the GTK+ widget toolkit and other key components of the GNOME desktop. If you're diving into GNOME development, this app can be super handy!

Easy to Use Interface

The user interface is designed with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines in mind. This means it’s really user-friendly! You’ll find a sidebar listing all the categories and subcategories, plus a big area where you can check out the actual documentation. It's simple to navigate, even if you’re just starting out.

Projects Covered

When you use Devhelp, you get access to a bunch of important projects like ATK, Bonobo, Cairomm, Cally, Camel, Cheese, Clutter, D-Bus, Evince, Evolution, GAIL, GIMP, Glade, GMime, GStreamer, GTK+, GtkSourceView, PackageKit, PyGTK, GNOME Shell, Totem, and Vala. That’s quite a list!

Works Well with GTK-Doc

This app is fully compatible with GTK-Doc. This is an API reference framework made specifically for GTK+, used all over the GNOME desktop for API documentation. Devhelp uses GTK-Doc to generate its docs.

No Need for GNOME Desktop

You might think you need to be on the GNOME desktop to use it—nope! You can run Devhelp on other open-source window managers too like MATE, Cinnamon, LXDE, Xfce or even Openbox and Fluxbox.

Installation Made Easy

You can grab Devhelp as a source archive that lets you configure and install it on any Linux distribution as long as you meet some requirements. But don’t worry; it’s also available in most Linux distributions' default software repositories for easy installation.

Future Plans for Other OS

If you're using major Linux-based operating systems like Ubuntu or Fedora—they probably already have Devhelp included! The developers are also working on creating pre-built versions for Windows and Mac OS X so more people can easily work with GTK+ applications across different platforms.

A Must-Have Tool for Developers

In short: Devhelp is an awesome application whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer working with GNOME/GTK+. It's one of those essential tools when developing under the GNOME project. Want to check it out? Download Devhelp here!
