If it can be built in Windows, how?

Yes, you can build and develop on Windows, though I haven't personally done this in a while. You'll need a MinGW environment set up, and from there our Gitlab CI build script *should* give you some idea of the requirements: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml#L42 Specifically, I think `glib-compile-resources` should be in the glib2-devel package there. As a minor note though... depending on what you're doing, I'd recommend developing against the `meld-3-20` branch at the moment. `master` is currently in the midst of changing build systems and I don't know whether anyone has tried getting the new build to run on Windows at all. Theoretically the old build will still mostly work, but... I'm far from confident. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list meld-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
