Archana, In theory, the fundamental GNOME libraries including Glib and GTK are cross-platform. It's possible to build these libraries for Windows, and using these, some GNOME applications can be built for Windows. For example, the gedit web page (https://projects.gnome.org/gedit/) has a link to a Windows binary for gedit, though it's a very old version (2.30). In practice, though, GNOME as a whole only works well on Linux-based operating systems (including FreeBSD). I think it's safe to say that 95% or more of mainstream GNOME development happens on Linux/FreeBSD. Probably many or most GNOME programs will not build at all on Windows today without substantial effort. So for working on most GNOME projects your life will be far easier if you run a Linux-based distribution such as Arch, Debian, Fedora or Ubuntu. If there's a particular project you're interested in, we might be able to give more specific feedback. adam On Sun, Jun 30, 2013 at 11:57 AM, Archana Kumari <[email protected]> wrote: > can I work on gnome projects in windows environment.....is it > necessary to be a linux user for it > > On Sun, Jun 30, 2013 at 5:00 AM, <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Send gnome-love mailing list submissions to >> [email protected] >> >> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >> https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love >> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to >> [email protected] >> >> You can reach the person managing the list at >> [email protected] >> >> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >> than "Re: Contents of gnome-love digest..." >> >> >> Today's Topics: >> >> 1.
