<p>
One of the major advantages of <span class="application">gtkmm</span> is that it is crossplatform. <span class="application">gtkmm</span> programs written on other platforms such as
GNU/Linux can generally be transferred to Windows (and vice
versa) with few modifications to the source.
</p>
<p>
<span class="application">gtkmm</span> currently works with the
<a class="ulink" href="http://mingw.org/" target="_top">MinGW/GCC compiler</a> with a compiler version
that supports C++17, such as gcc 7 or 8. It also works with Microsoft
Visual C++ 2017 15.7.x or later (including the freely available express/community
editions) on the Windows platform. There is an
<a class="ulink" href="ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/gtkmm" target="_top">installer</a>
available for <span class="application">gtkmm</span> on Microsoft Windows, but as of this writing
(October 2020) it has not been updated for a long time.
Please be aware that although normally it is fine to mix builds done with
Visual Studio 2017 and 2019, please do not do so when building
<span class="application">gtkmm</span> with its -mm dependencies.
</p>
<p>Refer to the <a class="ulink" href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtkmm/tree/master/README.win32" target="_top">README.win32</a>,
as well as the <a class="ulink" href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtkmm/tree/master/MSVC_NMake/README" target="_top">README</a>
files in the <span class="application">gtkmm</span>, pangomm and glibmm for instructions on how to build <span class="application">gtkmm</span> on Windows.
