Short answer : Yes, but you need to install (or package with) 
Gtk dlls.


Long answer :

Install following this instructions : 
https://github.com/gtkd-developers/GtkD/wiki/Installing-on-Windows
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"
  }



Thank you. Will try those steps.

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,
