NOTICE, (since 2021/03/27) current gotk3_gtksource version comply with new gotk3 requirements, (that mean gotk3 version must be > 0.5.2) so you have to use Go bindings for GTK3 @ master from gotk3 repository instead of Release GOTK3 Version 0.5.2.

(*) Why the MIT license, simply because the ISC license type is not available in the repository creation choices. This repository is designed in the spirit of the original definition of the gotk3 LICENSE before this one.

(**) Why Ubuntu Linux only … because i really don’t know how to explain and deploy it on window, darwin and other Linux distros, i’m sorry. If you are able to doing that, you’re welcome. All information are available at Ubuntu - libgtksourceview. Theoretically, sourceview 4 may work on amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el s390x, sourceview 3.0 amd64 arm64 armhf i386 powerpc ppc64el s390x both depending on OS version.
