Note: These instructions are intended for developers wanting to create Windows applications based on GTK, not for end-users. On Windows, GTK applications are typically bundled with GTK already, so end-users do not need to worry about how to install GTK itself.

There are many methods to install GTK on Windows development machines.

Above command will confirm before installing the package on your Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Operating System. If you are not already logged in as su, installer will ask you the root password. After completion of the installation you can use the package on your system.

• MSYS2

  This method is based on the packages provided by MSYS2, which provides a UNIX-like environment for Windows. Both of these repositories also provide packages for a large number of other useful open source libraries.

• gvsbuild

  This method provides scripts to build the GTK stack from source and outputs libraries and tools that can be consumed by Visual Studio or Meson based projects.

• vcpkg

  This method is based on the packages available from the Microsoft vcpkg project, which are built using Visual Studio, and therefore work well if you intend to develop using that platform.

We assume that you are using Windows 7 or later. For older versions of Windows, you will need to do a custom build of older versions of GLib and GTK.

Using GTK from MSYS2 packages

Installation

The MSYS2 project provides a UNIX-like development environment for Windows. It provides packages for many software applications and libraries, including the GTK stack. If you prefer developing using Visual Studio, you may be better off installing GTK from vcpkg instead.

In MSYS2 packages are installed using the pacman package manager.

Note: in the following steps, we will assume you’re using a 64-bit Windows. Therefore, the package names include the x86_64 architecture identifier. If you’re using a 32-bit Windows, please adapt the instructions below using the i686 architecture identifier.

Step 1.: Download the MSYS2 installer that matches your platform and follow the installation instructions.

Step 2.: Install GTK3 and its dependencies. Open a MSYS2 shell, and run:

Step 3. (recommended): Install the GTK core applications. Glade is a GUI designer for GTK. It lets you design your GUI and export it in XML format. You can then import your GUI from your code using the GtkBuilder API. Read the GtkBuilder section in the GTK manual for more information.

To install Glade:

Step 4. (optional): If you want to develop a GTK3 application in Python, you need to install the Python bindings.

If you develop in Python 3:

If you develop in Python 2: Bruce springsteen the river blogspot download music.

Step 5. (optional): Install the build tools. If you want to develop a GTK3 application in other languages like C, C++, Fortran, etc, you’ll need a compiler like gcc and other development tools: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain base-devel

Using GTK from vcpkg packages

WARNING: The vcpkg packaging is not maintained or supported by the GTK team, and it uses a different build system than the one used by GTK. If something breaks when building GTK or its dependencies using vcpkg, make sure to open an issue in the vcpkg issue tracker, instead of the GTK one.

Installation

The GTK library, as well as all pre-requisites and many language bindings (e.g. the C++ bindings gtkmm) are packaged by the Microsoft vcpkg project for use with Visual Studio. This provides a very simple way to setup a development environment to create GTK apps. If you prefer a more UNIX-like experience, building from the command line instead of using Visual Studio, you may want to consider installing GTK from MSYS2 instead.

In order to use vcpkg packages, you first need to clone the vcpkg repository,

The part behind the colon ‘:’ specifies the target. After this step, any project created in Visual Studio will now automatically see the GTK libraries.

If you build from the command line using CMake, you need to tell CMake where to find the libraries. This is done by adding

to the CMake options, where vcpkg root is the location where you cloned the vcpkg repository.

Building and distributing your application

Once you have installed the GTK as above, you should have little problem compiling a GTK app. In order to run it successfully, you will also need a GTK theme. There is some old builtin support for a Windows theme in GTK, but that makes your app look like a Windows 7 app. It is better to get a Windows 10 theme, for instance the Windows 10 Transformation Pack.

Step 1. Copy the gtk-3.20 folder of that repository to a folder share/themes/Windows10/gtk-3.0/ in your installation folder.

Step 2. You also need to copy the icons from the Adwaita theme, which you can download from the GNOME sources.

Step 3. Perform the same steps for the hicolor icons, which are the mandatory fallback for icons not available in Adwaita.

Step 4. To make GTK pick up this theme, put a file settings.ini in etc/gtk-3.0 in your installation folder. This should contain

Step 5. To top it all off, run the glib-compile-schemas utility provided by GLib to generate the compiled settings schema in your installation folder:

Step 6. You can then zip up your installation folder, or use an installer generator to do that for you, and distribute the result.

You may use MSYS2 to build your GTK application and create an installer to distribute it. Your installer will need to ship your application build artifacts as well as GTK binaries and runtime dependencies; see the instructions above for vcpkg for more details.

Legal notes on distributing GTK with your application

You are welcome to redistribute GTK binaries, including applications that bundle them, on other web sites, CD-ROM, and other media. You don’t have to ask for permission. That’s one of the points of Free Software.

One important thing that the GNU licenses require is that you must also redistribute the source code on request. This usually means at least the gettext, GLib, GTK, Pango and ATK sources.
