I use for my apps standard GNUstep GUI, it works fine with the windows backend, both win32 and cairo compile although I use only the former. I do however stay away from MSVC and use full gcc and GNUstep. The final product is easy to ship in a directory where a .exe file can be launched and the rest of DLLs can reside inside plus some configuration files. I had a script working fine for the old mingw, I am in the process of updating and refining it for msys2. I currently have a full-GUI application working with files and https connection to webservices both in 32bit mode and 64bit mode, all packaged inside a directory. The past release is aincredible improvement and fruit of a lot of work regarding, with special thanks to Richard. I will soon also port to the new msys2 its graphing part, which is display histograms and similar on windows. I need to refine it a bit further before I can publish the details and scripts. Also StepSync, the file-synchronization tool can run natively on windows this way, it has a very simple gui made with only standard components and works fine. Riccardo
