+LablGTK is an Objective Caml interface to gtk+/gtk+-2
+
+It uses the rich type system of Objective Caml 3 to provide a strongly typed,
+yet very comfortable, object-oriented interface to gtk+. This is not that easy
+if you know the dynamic typing approach taken by gtk+.
+
+It is still under development, but already fully functional. All widgets (but
+one) are available, with almost all their methods. The GLArea widget is also
+supported in combination with LablGL. LibGlade and GdkPixbuf support is also
+included for both versions. LablGTK2 adds support for gnomecanvas, librsvg and
+libpanel Many examples are provided.
+
+Objective Caml threads are supported, including for the toplevel, which allows
+for interactive use of the library. Since release 1.2.1, LablGTK contains
+support for rapid development with glade, through an interface wrapper compiler,
+and a libglade binding. You can also find code generators in the tools section.
+
+You need an ocaml compiler (available on http://slackbuilds.org) to use and/or
+to compile.
