MSYS2 is a modern rewrite of MSYS, both of which are Cygwin (POSIX compatibility layer) forks with the aim of better interoperability with native Windows software. It aims to provide support to facilitate using the bash shell, Autotools, revision control systems and the like for building native Windows applications using MinGW-w64 toolchains. It comes with a port of ArchLinux's Pacman package manager. Three repos are provided with over 1000 packages.

Install GTK for c on Windows 10?
Can you tell me how to install GTK on windows 10 or have a step by step guide, all the ones I've tried have not helped me.
Possibly if someone also explain how to compile from cmd or prepare an IDE (code: block maybe).
