Compiling on windows

[madmaxio]

So I fixed the issue with russian user name, GTK_LIB_DIR is set. Now getting this on compiling:

ld: cannot find -lgtk-3
ld: cannot find -lgdk-3
ld: cannot find -latk-1.0
ld: cannot find -lgdk-3
ld: cannot find -lcairo
ld: cannot find -lpango-1.0
ld: cannot find -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0
ld: cannot find -lgio-2.0
ld: cannot find -lgobject-2.0
ld: cannot find -lglib-2.0
ld: cannot find -lgobject-2.0

i just had the same problem. i solved it by deleting gcc and ld files from the active toolchain.

first make sure you installed everything in this page : https://www.gtk.org/download/windows.php

find out your active toolchain by typing rustup show into the cmd. then go to that folder and delete or rename gcc.exe and ld.exe files.

Omg this worked, deleted those from .rustup\toolchains\nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu\lib\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-gnu\bin

How did you figure this out?

@madmaxio i read the error message. it was trying to look for files in another directory. thats how i got it :)
