GTK+ 3 is now on Windows

GTK+ 3.6.4 is the current maintained version on Windows. The current GTK+ stack uses APIs that are available only on Windows 2000 or later. Download GTK+ 3 for Windows (32-bit) here.

You will need the GLib, cairo, Pango, ATK, gdk-pixbuf and GTK+ developer packages to build software against GTK+. To run GTK+ programs you will also need the gettext-runtime, fontconfig, freetype, expat, libpng and zlib packages.

The packages here are for people who develop software that uses GTK+. This page is not intended directly for end-users. It is expected that people who build installers for GTK+ applications for Windows bundle GTK+ with them.

An installation and usage tutorial is available for beginners.
