I have taken a look at GTK+3 and I like it. But unfortunately compiling from source has never worked for me. Is there any okace with decent binaries or even better, a windows installer?

Is GTK available for Windows?

GTK can be also run on Microsoft Windows, where it is used by some popular cross-platform applications like Pidgin and GIMP. wxWidgets, a cross-platform GUI tool-kit, uses GTK on Linux by default.

How do I open a GTK file?

To launch the GTK Inspector, focus your GTK application and press Control-Shift-D. Alternatively, move your mouse cursor to your desired widget and press Control-Shift-I to specifically inspect the widget under the mouse cursor.

GTK+ dropped the + and their website has been rewritten. So the install instructions for GTK on Windows are now at https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/windows/

2017-04-07 update:

To make it clear, since 2017-06-23, the GTK+ project doesn't provide binary bundles for Windows. These are now provided by the MSYS2 project, with the blessing of the GTK+ team.

MSYS2 provides the most up-to-date versions of GTK+ for Windows, as well as a complete toolchain, and other useful GTK-related development tools like:

  • Glade, the GUI designer
  • Devhelp, the offline documentation browser

The official GTK+ website contains GTK+ installation instructions for Windows.

2013-10-27 update:

There's now an officially supported version of GTK 3 for Windows (GTK 3.6.4 as of today). You'll find it on the official GTK+ website, in the Downloads section. Thanks to the GTK team, and to tarnyko for his work in this regard.

2013-02-01 update:

There's a French dude (tarnyko) providing an (unofficial) GTK 3 installer for Windows, based on the OpenSUSE binaries, and another guy providing another (unofficial, again) build. Might help. The gtk-list mailing list is the best place to check how this evolves through time.

2011-05-15 original content:

There is currently no installer for GTK3 on Windows. However, the OpenSUSE Build System provides the Windows binaries for GTK3. On a GTK3 on Windows thread of the GTK devel mailing list, Maarten Bosmans provided the download-mingw-rpm.py python script, which automates the download of a package and its dependencies, and then uses 7-zip to unzip the content of the packages. See the post he explains how to use download-mingw-rpm.py.
