Hi group,
I'm interested in developing some GUI programs in D on Windows.
Looked into the various D GUI toolkit options a bit, on the D
sites and by googling a bit. Thinking of using GtkD. So would
like to know whether people think it is a good option for GUI
app dev on Windows.
Note: I have not ruled out other toolkits. If anyone has any
thoughts on their use, please do comment.
Thanks,
W.B.O.
Short answer : Yes, but you need to install (or package with) Gtk
dlls.
Long answer :
Install following this instructions :

If you would use Dub and you need to be cross-platform, the
dub.sdl/json would be a bit more tricky, but works. You would
need something like this :
libs "gtkd" platform="windows"
configuration "nogtk" {
platforms "windows"
targetType "executable"
}
configuration "gtk" {
platforms "posix"
dependency "gtk-d:gtkd" version="~>3.2.0"
targetType "executable"
}
