12 gate is the static version of the program transforming a file produced
13 by glade(1), the Gtk GUI builder, into an Ada program. It will gener‐
14 ate a set of Ada files that, when compiled, will recreate the interface
15 you just designed in glade(1). The most important file created by Gate
16 is called callback_<project_name>.adb and contains stubs for all the
17 callbacks you declared in Glade.
18 Note that you can easily go back to Glade any time, modify your inter‐
20 face, and have gate regenerate a set of files. All your modifications
21 will be kept in the new files. For that, gate creates a directory .gate
22 in the current directory. Please do not delete it if you want gate to
23 be able to keep your changes from one version to the next. Also note
24 that to be able to keep track of your modifications, gate relies on
25 patch and diff being available on your system. If you don't have a
26 working set of diff/patch, configure will simply replace them by null
27 operations.
