GTK4 Cross compile for Windows

Image building

To create required images, clone the repository and cd into the root.

To build any images other than the base one, you will need to have prebuilt the base image.

Base image

docker build gtk4-cross-base -t gtk4-cross-base

Rust image

docker build gtk4-cross-rust -t gtk4-cross-rust

Cross compilation

Rust project

Create a container inside your project and run it

docker run -ti -v `pwd`:/mnt gtk4-cross-rust

Then run build.sh to build the project and package.sh to package it into a zip file.

package.zip will be present in your project directory.

Image creation

If you want to create your own project builder

• create a new directory with your own name gtk4-cross-<language> (<language> should be replaced with whatever your project relies on and makes it recognisable)
• cd into the new directory
• create a file build.sh that's going to contain your building code.
• link package.sh from the root into the directory

ln ../package.sh package.sh

• create a new Dockerfile, and put in the following boilerplate to have a runnable container.

FROM gtk4-cross-base

ADD build.sh /usr/bin
RUN chmod +x /usr/bin/build.sh

ADD package.sh /usr/bin
RUN chmod +x /usr/bin/package.sh

CMD ["/bin/bash"]

• build the image

docker build gtk4-cross-<language> -t gtk4-cross-<language>

• use the image

docker run -ti -v `pwd`:/mnt gtk4-cross-<language>

• add a section about your new builder to this README.md
• contribute :)
