gtk4-linux-clion

Linux (Ubuntu 24.04) example applications based on GTK4 using CLion

This is a basic HelloWorld project for GTK4 on Windows. It is a regular CMake project and should be buildable on any number of platforms.

Having said that, the tech stack I used for it consists of:

• the CLion IDE
• a toolchain based on Msys2 and MinGW64

Instructions for windows

Download and install Msys2 from msys2.org. Then, open an Msys2 shell and install all build tools and libraries needed:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk4 &&
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

Next, configure the toolchain. Go to Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Toolchains and configure your toolchain as shown in the image below.

If you did not make the Msys2 toolchain the default toolchain, go to **Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > CMake ** and set the Msys2 toolchain there.

If all is installed and configured correctly, you can build and run your program by pressing Shift-F10:
