Hi,
I want to cross compile my app using Linux to Windows, but sadly each tutorial require Windows prebuild binaries which should exists here http://win32builder.gnome.org/
The GTK Project - A free and open-source cross-platform widget toolkit only points to Windows only method to compile app.
Which tutorial? The builds that were once hosted on win32builder.gnome.org were native GTK3 builds for Windows, so they would not help you for cross-compilation. Additionally, we stopped providing native builds for GTK3 years ago.
You need to install the appropriate MINGW cross-compilationpackages for your Linux distribution. Fedora calls them mingw64-gtk3, while Debian calls them mingw-w64. For other distributions you will have to ask the appropriate distribution’s support channel.
E.g. - http://www.tarnyko.net/en/?q=node/45
I already setup cross compile based on this tutorial - https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/6rerw5/tutorial_cross_compiling_a_gtk_program_from_linux/
I’m using Ubuntu 20.04
With command PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=1 cargo build --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu --bin czkawka_gui everything compile fine but when linking it shows this errors
rafal@rafalDesktop:~/Pobrane/czkawka$ PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=1 cargo build --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu --bin czkawka_gui
Compiling czkawka_gui v1.0.0 (/home/rafal/Pobrane/czkawka/czkawka_gui)
error: linking with `x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc` failed: exit code: 1

That was written 7 years ago. Stuff is bound to go out of date, especially if it’s on a personal blog.
It would have also helped to say you’re trying to build a Rust program—either directly or, better, by using the rust tag.
You may want to join the #rust channel on irc.gnome.org; you can use Matrix as well.
You probably need to set up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well, so that the linker can find the mingw libraries.
The problem is that I don’t know if I have this libraries.
sudo find / | grep mingw | grep gtk doesn’t print anything
I’m afraid you’ll have to ask on an Ubuntu forum where to find the MINGW binary packages for GTK3.
I don’t think Ubuntu/Debian have binary packages that provide Windows/mingw versions of GTK.
That’s disappointing, but understandable.
I’d recommend using Fedora, given that they do ship packages for cross-compiling GTK3. Alternatively, use a Windows VM to build things and distribute them; Microsoft provides free virtual machine images that you can spin up for development and testing purposes.
With Fedora I had problem with compilation my app due to strange error with xkbcommon.
Now finally with copied from msys2 gtk3 lib folder and pointed to it RUSTFLAGS="-L " I’m able to compile my app.
I will create short tutorial on r/rust how to do it step by step
I guess this is all solved now, judging from Instrukcje-i-Tutoriale/GtkRsCross.md at master · qarmin/Instrukcje-i-Tutoriale · GitHub ?
