(Nothing personal, I will actually always prefer Linux, I'm just being unbiased) The worst is that it is forcing you to use their own crap to the extent that they even tell you what IDE to choose, how you will build your app, what will have in your app. They made GTK+ installation almost the same as the Linux installation, which is a bit like giving you pepsi in mcdonalds. I agree GNOME community is being a bit insolent to this point. For a graphical GUI designer, look up Glade. If you want a traditional IDE for GTK+ programming, look up GNOME Builder or Anjuta. Then, open the MinGW 32-bit or 64-bit Shell from the Start menu's MSYS folder to begin developing. Once you find the one you want, use pacman -S package-name-here That should give you a list of possible packages to install, including the GTK+ libraries for both 32-bit and 64-bit MinGW. That being said, you need to install GTK+ separately if you use the MSYS route MSYS doesn't come with GTK+ out of the box. MSYS2 is the only supported installation mechanism, and it's updated frequently enough. The current version is 3.16, and 3.18 is literally days away from being released. The previous binary distribution for Windows was for GTK+ 3.6, which was released I believe way back in 2012, if not earlier. The problem with the GTK+ website is that there is no one to maintain these binary distributions. The answer below has been kept for historical reasons. Welcome, Google users from the future! Since I wrote this answer, the GTK+ website now has official installation instructions that cover what I said below but with more details and less pain. I can find no info regarding msys2 and GTK+ 3.0. The question is in the title, I am amazed I am having to ask the question, it seems like one that google should have completely covered but everything I am finding is relating to a download that is no longer available on the GTK website. Maybe im missing something but should it not be as simple as downloading a zipped folder, extracting and setting up paths?Īt this rate id be faster learning C++ and going with Qt. Its seems very linuxy in terms of being unnecessarily and stupidly unclear to do something that should be simple. Having followed the instructions, installed and updated msys2, I see no reference to GTK+, in the installed files or on the mysys website that GTK directs you to. It seems there was once a direct download on the GTK site for an all-in-one Windows bundle that is no longer there. Having some trouble finding exactly how to do this. Trying to setup GTK+ 3.0 on Codeblocks Win7.
