Hi @FynnFbc, is this the same issue as #1081?

[ByteStardust]

The problem is different, I failed to install gtk4, but I successfully installed ninja in python

Can you translate the GTK build errors? If you switch your computer to English, are you still getting the errors?

I'm still getting these errors over a year later, and my PC is English.

Hi @Clouud9, could you please provide more information about:

1. The version of Windows you are using
2. How you installed Gvsbuild
3. What command you ran
4. What error messages you got

We run Gvsbuild on CI to build GTK4 with every change committed. So we need to try to pinpoint what about your computer or set up is different so that we can reproduce it and fix the issue.
