How do I run/build gtk3-rust applications on Windows?
⚓ Rust 📅 2025-09-30 👤 surdeus 👁️ 6I have made a gtk3 application successfully with Rust on Linux and now I wish to port it over to Windows.
I am reading the documentation on how to get gtk3 to install on Windows:
I have ran:
pacman -Syu mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gtk3 mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-toolchain base-devel
After running the command I can see I have to get the themes installed:
After downloading the Windows 10 Transformation Pack:
I am not entirely sure where to copy the the themes. According to the screenshot I have to copy the icon assets to share/themes/Windows10.
In the root of msys2:
some of these folders contains the share folder but not themes/Windows10 so I assume under  mingw64/share I create themes/Windows10 and copy it there?
Another thing according to step 2:
I clicked on the link and downloaded this one:
And after extracting it I see this:
Do I just copy the entire folder or something else and I assume it goes into share/themes/WIndows10?
