GNOME / Vala Windows Application

I want my C # WinForms application to be usable with both Windows and Linux. I have some experience with Java and more experience with Python, but I don’t really like the first one, and I am interested in the second (I mean obfuscation, I need to install Python on the target computer, etc.), therefore I have chosen to use the Vala and GTK3 toolkit ... it was created mainly for creating GNOME applications, but I read that it is multi-platform and fully compiled for C with all the dependencies needed to run the software - but right? I mean: can I meet any restrictions when creating my application on Linux? I do not want to complete it and then discover that it cannot be run on Windows because I used the GNOME library ...

There are many GTK applications that currently run on Windows without problems.

For instance:

  • GIMP (raster graphics tool - the application for which GTK was originally built)
  • Inkscape (vector graphics tool)
  • Geany (text editor)
  • Pidgin

Vala applications will work wherever GTK applications are. I can’t name the Vala application that I saw on the windows, but I will take an interest in this and get back to you.
