Working on UI (glade)

[eliotb]

My development machine is running ubuntu 20.04.1, the version of glade available is 3.22

I started to take a look at the UI changes I suggested in #58

The UI is designed using Glade, so I try to open e.g redCardDisplay.ui,

First error message
failed to load... required catalogs are unavailable: gourmetwidgets
Dismissing that, next error is

Make sure you can run this project with glade 3.8 with no deprecated widgets first

Glade does then show the UI, with errors relating to the missing gourmetwidgets.

Can you give me a hint about how to overcome these errors?

Meta issue: there is no mention of glade in the Contribution Guide

BTW Is there a channel other than these issues for asking questions about developing Gourmand?

So I found that the first error can be avoided by setting the search path environment variable
GLADE_CATALOG_SEARCH_PATH=$PWD/catalog glade recCardDisplay.ui
