======================================================

This repository is a fork of the  [GTK+ for Windows Runtime Environment Installer](http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net) that was originally created
by Alexander Shaduri.
My efforts here will focus on creating a **64-bit version** of the GTK+-2 runtime that he has been providing so far, using up to date versions of GTK+ and its dependencies. Recently I have also created a 64-bit **GTK+-3 runtime package**. All packages now contain **Gtkmm** and its dependencies too. Since the GTK+ developers recently dropped support for stock icons (a mistake of epic proportions IMHO...), I added the Adwaita icon theme to the GTK+-3 runtime, so you can still enjoy pretty filechooserdialogs etc! I have also added a couple of commonly used libraries such as libxml++, libxslt, gtksourceview, libsoup and sqlite.

The installers can be found in the [releases section](https://github.com/tschoonj/GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer/releases).

The current releases ([gtk2-runtime-2.24.31-2017-11-15-ts-win64.exe](https://github.com/tschoonj/GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer/releases/download/2017-11-15/gtk2-runtime-2.24.31-2017-11-15-ts-win64.exe) and [gtk3-runtime-3.22.26-2017-11-15-ts-win64.exe](https://github.com/tschoonj/GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer/releases/download/2017-11-15/gtk3-runtime-3.22.26-2017-11-15-ts-win64.exe)) were obtained entirely from the excellent [MSYS2 project](www.msys2.org), and were **not** compiled by myself, as was the case for releases made before 2017. Users who want to compile against this runtime are strongly encouraged to set up a MSYS2 installation themselves, and install the required packages (compiled with the mingw-w64-x86\_64 toolchain!!!).

For all other information regarding how to use the installer, the reader is kindly referred to [Alexander Shaduri's website](http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net) of the GTK for Windows runtime environment installer. The only difference with the installers found at his website is that mine DO NOT have the `compatdlls` option, but this should present no problems to any user.  

Personally I use this installer in my [XMI-MSIM project](http://github.com/xmimsim). You may want to have a look at my Inno Setup ([new](https://github.com/tschoonj/xmimsim/blob/master/windows/xmimsim.iss)) and NSIS ([old](https://github.com/tschoonj/xmimsim/blob/XMI-MSIM-4.0/nsis/xmimsim-win64.nsi.in)) based installers. 

Those interested in scientific plotting using Gtkmm3 may want to have a look at my project [Gtkmm-PLplot](https://github.com/tschoonj/gtkmm-plplot). Documentation and examples can be found [here](http://tschoonj.github.io/gtkmm-plplot)
