GTK app development for windows.
Hello! I am a student and learned a little about gtk and writing programs using it. On Ubuntu 12.04 I can create, compile and run applications easily but I want to compile them for windows. I have mingw packages installed. But there is no gtk package in ubuntu repositories for cross development. How can I install necessary packages on ubuntu and compile gtk applications for windows on _ubuntu_? ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

You can download the win32 gtk binaries here: http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php Just compile and link your program with gcc-mingw-w64. If you have many other dependencies, jhbuild is very convenient. I have a repro here which builds a setup.exe installer for a large application, including a lot of deps. https://github.com/jcupitt/build-win32/tree/master/7.30 John ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
Re: GTK app development for windows.
One thing you should know that most version of GTK+ in today Linux system is using version 3.x. The latest maintained version of GTK+ for Windows is 2.24, this is pretty old (almost 2 years ago). I don't know when will the GTK+ 3 comes to Windows. Hoperfully someone would tell us what happen on GTK+ 3 for Windows. I recommended you to use also GTK+ 2 in Linux, and you can build it with no or less efforts in Windows compared if you use GTK+ 3 in Linux but build it with GTK+ 2 in Windows.

Re: GTK app development for windows.
Yes we know that, they still providing GTK+2 or GTK+ for backward compability. I was mean about version, because there are no stable GTK+ 3 for Windows yet ( at least in official site gtk.org ), so if he want to build his GTK+ app in Windows, the maintained and bundled development release is available, that is version 2.24. So, for less effort, Its better for him to use GTK+ 2 in Linux too, unless he want to distiguish between GTK+3 and GTK+2 calls in the code.

I figure it's unreasonable to expect users to install all of gtk just so they can try out some random program that happens to use gtk.
