## 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`
- For Apple Silicon, set `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib` in the environment so that Pinta can load the GTK libraries
- For Intel, you may need to set `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib` when using .NET 9 or higher
- Build:
- `dotnet build`
- Run:
- `dotnet run --project Pinta`
## 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`
