Looks like a really interesting project, it would be great to see some installation instructions.

Unfortunately, this project isn't in a usable state yet. Its actually a library for parsing tty output and managing the internal state machine of the terminal; hopefully it will be the basis for multiple applications.

If you have all the dependencies for the scaffolding terminal (I think just GTK, pango & cairo) on a UNIX system, the scaffolding terminal should be buildable using the nightly version of Rust's project manager cargo. But scaffolding is buggy, not featureful, and not intended for every day use.

Just a small note, but I tried to build the scaffolding recently and ran into a bug in the rust compiler. I'm pretty sure it is this issue. Though the linked issue in glib says this bug shouldn't be an issue anymore. So you might have some troubles getting the scaffolding to work.

OK, I'll close this issue but keep my eyes open!

@blakesweeney sorry it took two weeks, but I've gotten around to triaging the issue you mentioned and its just that the gtk dependencies needed to have their versions bumped. The current commit fixes it.

Thanks for looking into this. I'm interested in seeing where this project goes!

For sure. 😄 I'm working on getting the scaffolding terminal to render images, hopefully by the new year!
