GTK+ for Windows Runtime Environment Installer: 64-bit
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
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 and gtksourceview.
|
|
|
|
The installers can be found [here](http://lvserver.ugent.be/gtk-win64/).
|
|
|
|
**[Keep in mind though that these packages are experimental. Binary compatibility between versions is not guaranteed!!!.](http://www.gtk.org/download/win64.php)**
|
|
|
|
Both for convencience as well as for increased reliability across installations, it is recommended for developers to compile and link against the GTK+ SDK that I used to create the installers. This SDK can also be obtained at the aforementioned url.
|
|
|
|
The current releases ([gtk2-runtime-2.24.30-2016-04-09-ts-win64.exe](http://lvserver.ugent.be/gtk-win64/gtk2-runtime/gtk2-runtime-2.24.30-2016-04-09-ts-win64.exe) and [gtk3-runtime-3.20.2-2016-04-09-ts-win64.exe](http://lvserver.ugent.be/gtk-win64/gtk3-runtime/gtk3-runtime-3.20.2-2016-04-09-ts-win64.exe)) have been compiled using GCC 5.1.0 (MinGW-w64 installed from TDM-GCC).

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)
