Alternative to glade?
Joris Dolderer
I am looking for a GTK UI Builder generating C code. I'd prefer it if I
could use something else than glade-2 because I don't want to write
software that depends on unsupported software.
Is this the right group for this question? If not: What would be the
right group?

http://crow-designer.sourceforge.net/ ? I haven't looked at its
dependency graph yet, but the webpage looks promising. Also, what is
unsupported in glade? Which distro are you using? Gentoo says that
glade 3.4.0 is marked stable and depends only on stuff that I already
have installed (I have a lot of stuff installed though.)

This is probably good enough for government work. HTH,

The problem is that crow-designer is also unsupported. If there is no
supported alternative, I could use glade-2.

Glade-3 doesn't support C code generation any more. I use gentoo, too.

You could do that, but it will reach end-of-life some time.
It might be wiser to grab glade-3 and use libglade from your C project
to parse the glade files.
(just my advice to not stick with a deprecated ide for too long).

The problem with that is that you've added another dependency (on
libglade). When you start adding dependencies, they tend to snowball
and mushroom, and eventually, you end up with GNUcash.

The main problem is if the code generator you're using relies on
functions that become deprecated in library-X.Y+3 and then no longer
work in library-X.Y+8.

It shouln't be that hard to write a program that creates C code from
glade's XML.

longer under active development."
