Integrating with other GUI toolkits

There are numerous other GUI toolkits available. The prominent examples are GTK+ and KDE. The new Wayland server is intended as a replacement for the X server. The approach to integrate these toolkits is always the same: you need to find a way to process the GUI toolkit events with the vibe.d event manager. As vibe.d utilizes the widely used libevent library, you may get lucky and somebody may have already provided a solution. Alternatively, you can look for a libev solution. To use libev with vibe.d, you need to specify the libev configuration in your dub.sdl file:

subConfigurations  "vibe-d" "libev" 

In case you have to roll your own implementation, you should take a look at libasync. This event loop library is written in D and the source is available on GitHub at https://github.com/etcimon/libasync. You can clone this repository and use it as a base for your integration task.
