Windows Porting

I’m hoping that MyPaint will be able to support Windows fully starting with the first v1.2.0-beta release. This is made possible by the efforts of our own Windows porters and testers, and the dedicated folks who keep MSYS2 working so well.

Releases will start happening shortly (date TBA) on Github, and you’ll be able to pull down installer binaries for 32 bit and 64 bit Windows as part of this.

If you’re interested in the workings of the installer build, and would like to test it and help it improve, it’s all documented and scripted in the current github master. Please be aware that SourceForge downloads are involved during the build procedure until MSYS2 fix that. Our own binaries and installers will never be knowingly distributed – by us – through SourceForge or any similar crapware bundling site.
