[Gtk-sharp-list] How to run GTK#3 on Windows?

[Pedro Larouca]

Hi Baltazar,

I really have no interest running gtk3 on windows because gtk2 is stable and mature. Xamarin team is not going to port at this time, they haven’t abandoned. Meanwhile , there are several second party ports for this, have you tried some ? Gtk3 is available for windows at
https://www.gtk.org/download/index.php

Please share your experiences, ty

Hi,

AFAIK, in Windows there is no possibility to install the GTK libraries apart from the GTK# ones. You need the whole package, since in Windows it is not possible to locate them. There is still only a Gtk# 2 package available, since Xamairn has abandoned (then, again, AFAIK) the port of Gtk# to Gtk+3.

Of course, I'm not a Xamarin developer, maybe there is an environment variable that can be created for that purpose.

Hello List,

   This is my firstt, I am havaing a problem using GTK#3 in Windows.

   When I install GTK#3 using NuGet in visual studio, it needs to have gtk+ 3.22  libraries.  If I provide the msys2 gtk+3.22 binaries,
it says it is unable to load them.   When I provide gtk+ 3.8.1 libraries, they are detected the and says it needs 3.22 instead.

I also built from the latest source code 3.22, and it also will not run with these libraries (I don't even get a version conflict message, they are unrecognized binaries).

Thank you,
 Bill Foster
