Possible to introduce an alternative GUI based on GTK?

[barracuda156]

@r4sas @orignal Will it be hard to add an alternative GUI implementation? Qt one requires Qt5 minimum, which breaks it for some systems: PurpleI2P/i2pd-qt#54

GTK has a much better portability, is easier to build and has less dependencies. GTK3 works fine on old macOS, in particular (which is my interest here), but it should also have a better support on Linux and BSD. (I did not test much GTK4, but presumably it either works or at least should be fixable with little effort, unlike Qt5.)

@barracuda156 I am the i2pd-qt dev, and I suggest you to create the GTK app yourself. I will maybe create a Flutter or Quasar port. And yes i2pd-qt needs fixes.

@nonlin-lin-chaos-order-etc-etal Thank you for responding.

I am afraid writing something from scratch for GTK is not something I can do; I might be able to fix the existing qt version for Qt4, but need to find time to look into that.

До сих пор не понимаю зачем гуй демону.

У меня же оно не соберется ввиду отсутствия Qt5, так что я не знаю, насколько этот гуй полезен.
Обойдемся, конечно. Главное, что сам i2pd собирается.
