GTK compatible?

[azmeuk]

Hi,
Is it possible to use linenoise in a graphical GTK application ?
If yes, how to deal with blocking linenoise() calls in the loop, and the gtk_main() function?

i don't think this is possible
linenoise work just in cli

To use it easily with gtk the libnoise calls would need to have nonblocking versions.

If not then you are left with hacks - for instance, you can run the gtk main loop in a different thread or process, then when the gui part of the app finishes, send a signal to kill the part dealing with stdin via linenoise.
