CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Development Commands

Build: Compile the GTK application using the Makefile:
```
make
```
Or manually with gcc:
```
gcc -o sprechen sprechen.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk4`
```
Run: Execute the built binary:
```
make run
```
or
```
./sprechen
```
Clean: Remove compiled binaries:
```
make clean
```
or
```
rm -f sprechen
```
Format: If using clang-format, run:
```
clang-format -i *.c *.h
```

Lint: Use clang-tidy or cppcheck for static analysis:

clang-tidy sprechen.c -- `pkg-config --cflags gtk4`

cppcheck --enable=all sprechen.c

Test: Currently no test framework is integrated. To add unit tests, consider using a lightweight framework like check or cmocka. Tests can be compiled and run similarly.

Root: Contains the CLAUDE.md, README.md, .gitignore, LICENSE, Makefile, and source files.
Source: The main application resides in a single C file (sprechen.c) that uses GTK 4 for the graphical interface.
Build Artifacts: Compiled binaries are placed in the project root by default; consider using a build/ directory for out-of-source builds.
Dependencies: Requires GTK 4 development libraries. On macOS, install via Homebrew: brew install gtk4. On Linux, use your package manager (e.g., sudo apt install libgtk-4-dev).

The application is a simple GUI program written in C using GTK 4. It features:

A main window with a title "Sprechen.c".
A vertical box layout containing a centered label with welcome text.
Custom CSS styling for a gradient background and styled label box.
The GTK application lifecycle is managed via GtkApplication, with activation callback setting up the UI.

Future extensions may include:

Ensure GTK 4 is installed and accessible via pkg-config.
The code adheres to GTK 4 conventions and uses CSS for styling.
When modifying the UI, consider keeping the CSS in a separate file for maintainability, though currently it is embedded for simplicity.
