Project Setup On Windows

• Downloaded gtk from here
• Followed instructions

1

• Added (or updated as needed) those environment variables and then got this:

• Perhaps I need to reboot to get these to take effect...
• Trying to follow instructions on building and they are not correct:
• (Specifically the location of the activate script to use and how to call it)

• Now getting this build error:

• Found this
• Which looks promising.
• Trying download and install of Visual C++

• Finally go this to work.
• I installed the Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.BuildTools build BuildTools
• I updated the python version, installed pip and pipx and ensurepath per the instructions:

py -3.13 -m pip install --user pipx
py -3.13 -m pipx ensurepath
pipx install gvsbuild

• Just used the command gvsbuild build gtk4
• Not sure of which exact step or all were required. Suspect it was the VS install and the pipx and ensurepath
• I remember seeing some posts/comments about Windows path lengths limited to 260 characters with the error number I was getting originally
