Set up Gtk development on windows
I want to compile my program that uses Gtk(mm) for windows. So I have set up MinGW and MSys2 and downloaded a bunch of stuff via pacman.
Now when I try to compile my program using the following command:
g++ Patte.cpp -o Patte -L/opt/lib `pkg-config gstreamer-1.0 gstreamer-video-1.0 gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs`
The compiler fails reporting that it cannot find the following file that I include:
#include <gdk/gdkx.h>
Can someone maybe help me with this error? I would be very grateful for your help.
Edit: This line occurs after several includes that reference gstreamer, gtkmm and glib - so those seem to pass.

I'm not sure which of the three MSYS2 toolchains you are using. Could you post the full output of these commands?which g++andecho $MSYSTEM

You are in the MinGW-w64 64-bit shell but you didn't install the toolchain yet.
You should run:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-gtkmm3
