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

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.

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
