## Building on Windows



First, install the required GTK-related dependencies:

- Install MinGW64 via [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org)

- From the MinGW64 terminal, run `pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libadwaita mingw-w64-x86_64-webp-pixbuf-loader`.



Pinta can then be built by opening `Pinta.sln` in [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/).

Ensure that .NET 8 is installed via the Visual Studio installer.



For building on the command line:

- [Install the .NET 8 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/).

- Build:

  - `dotnet build`

- Run:

  - `dotnet run --project Pinta`



## Building on macOS



- Install .NET 8 and GTK4

  - `brew install dotnet-sdk libadwaita adwaita-icon-theme gettext webp-pixbuf-loader`

- Build:

  - `dotnet build`

- Run:

  - `dotnet run --project Pinta`



Alternatively, Pinta can be built by opening `Pinta.sln` in [Visual Studio for Mac](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/).



## Building on Linux



- Install [.NET 8](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/) following the instructions for your Linux distribution.

- Install other dependencies (instructions are for Ubuntu 22.10, but should be similar for other distros):

  - `sudo apt install autotools-dev autoconf-archive gettext intltool libadwaita-1-dev`

  - Minimum library versions: `gtk` >= 4.12 and `libadwaita` >= 1.4

  - Optional dependencies: `webp-pixbuf-loader`

- Build (option 1, for development and testing):

  - `dotnet build`

  - `dotnet run --project Pinta`

- Build (option 2, for installation):

  - `./autogen.sh`

    - If building from a tarball, run `./configure` instead.

    - Add the `--prefix=` argument to install to a directory other than `/usr/local`.

  - `make install`
