gvsbuild

Tech stack & purpose

gvsbuild is a tool for building the GTK stack on Windows using Visual Studio. The project provides Visual Studio project files and build infrastructure for compiling GTK and related GNOME libraries, including Clutter, Cogl, GLib, Cairo, Pango, and GDK-Pixbuf, with Visual C++ on the Windows platform. The build system supports multiple versions of Visual Studio and handles the complex dependency chains required by these graphics and UI libraries, which depend on external packages like zlib, libpng, Cairo, and OpenGL headers.
