Build

Linux

Firstly, install the GTK development packages. On Debian/Ubuntu derivatives this can be done as follows:

apt install libatk1.0-dev libcairo2-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libpango1.0-dev

On Fedora:

dnf install atk-devel cairo-devel gdk-pixbuf2-devel glib2-devel gtk3-devel pango-devel  

Then install the latest rust compiler, best done with the rustup tool. The build command:

cargo build --release

Windows

Neovim-gtk can be compiled using MSYS2 GTK packages. In this case use 'windows-gnu' rust toolchain.

SET PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\pkgconfig
cargo build --release
