 +The best way is to use the [[http://msys2.github.io/|MSYS2]] project which provides all necessary dependencies to build and run Geany on Windows coupled with a comfortable package manager.

-  * GTK+ 2.16 is the most stable at the time of writing - if you have a higher version you should check the release notes to see if there are problems e.g. with theming. 
- 
-  * Since Geany 0.16, GTK+ >= 2.8 is required, which in turn requires at least Windows 2000 or newer. The official Windows builds of Geany are built against GTK+ 2.16, so 
-to use them you also need GTK+ 2.16 or newer.

-The Build system support on Windows has been improved in the past but it is still not as good as on other platforms. +
-Currently, build commands are executed synchronous on Windows, that is, while the command is being executed, +
-Geany won't respond to user interactions and its user interface won't redraw, i.e. it seems to be frozen. +
-Once the executed command has finished, the Geany main window becomes responsive again.+
