Comment (by Nekotan):
Replying to [ticket:3201 Cas]:
> With the move to a GTK3 UI we need a way to easily create the Windows
package.
>
> I am not sure what the best route is going to be but we need something
that can always get the latest versions of GTK3 as we had to use outdated
PyGTK versions as no other builds existed.
>
> It would be good to drop the usage of MSVC and go with msys2 but there
are hurdles to doing that with regards to Twisted and pywin32 (see #3181).
These are the steps for another GTK3 project building with msys2:
>
The GVSbuild is better IMHO
Cygwin and Mingw change too much
so its best to use a stable compiler and a stable gtk version
Which can be edited when problems arise

project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_for_Windows_with_MSYS2
>
> Alternatively we continue with MSVC and roll our own GTK3 builds:

>
> We will also need to move from bbfreeze to most likely pyinstaller but
that is further down the road: [https://docs.python-
guide.org/shipping/freezing/ Freezing comparison ]
>
> Help or suggestions with this would be appreciated as primary
development is on Ubuntu.
