Why is this article said to be a new method? Because there was a previous article that was compiled by modifying the meson.build file, but the last time I compiled the dll file, when I used it, it reported that the entry of the function could not be located. In the past two days, I carefully read the introduction on the official website, saying that msys2 can be used to compile under windows. Just follow the instructions on the official website and see if there will be any problems with the compiled dll this time.
The official website of MYSY2 is https://www.msys2.org/
The home page has Download the installer: msys2-x86_64-20210228.exe download address: https://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/msys2-x86_64-20210228.exe
After downloading, the installation went smoothly. By default, it was installed in the C:\msys64 directory. After starting the application, you enter the console interface, and the next operation is the same as the Linux shell console.
After installing MSYS2, you need to install mingw, please refer to the introduction on https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/windows/
MSYS2 will come with a pacman tool, similar to yum in centOS and apt-get in Ubuntu.
Install the following basic tools:
pacman --needed --noconfirm -S meson git diffutils automake autoconf make gcc libtool unzip
pacman --needed --noconfirm -S intltool pcre-devel base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-pcre
pacman --needed --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3
pacman --needed --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glade
pacman --needed --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-gobjectAfter the installation is complete, unzip glib to the "/home/username/glib" directory in the installation directory, and execute the meson build command
If you encounter the following errors, please modify the meson.build file and change all if host_system =='windows' to if host_system =='windows' or host_system =='cygwin' or to if ['cygwin','windows '].contains(host_system)

The following method is also available on the official website. However, due to proxy issues, the tools you rely on cannot be downloaded successfully. Wait for a different network environment and try again.

gvsbuild
This method provides scripts to build the GTK stack from source and outputs libraries and tools that can be consumed by Visual Studio or Meson based projects.
We assume that you are using Windows 7 or later. For older versions of Windows, you will need to do a custom build of older versions of GLib and GTK.
