Ooblerg

A Windows package manager for the Ooblerg cross-build sysroot: GTK 4, SQGI, Vala, GStreamer, GDAL, SDL, and the tools needed to build desktop apps without hand-stitching a MinGW environment.

What It Is

A package repository

This server publishes versioned MinGW artifacts and metadata consumed by the Ooblerg app.

A Windows app

The installer provides a GTK 4 package manager for browsing, installing, removing, and repairing packages in a local sysroot.

A build substrate

The packages are derived from Ubuntu 24.04-era sources and tuned for x86_64 Windows cross-development.

What Is Inside

Ooblerg is built for native Windows app experiments that still want the GNOME-adjacent stack: GObject Introspection, GTK 4, GLib, Cairo, Pango, GStreamer, libsoup, GDAL, Vala, SQGI, and supporting compiler/runtime packages.

The repository API starts at /v1/index.json, with package manifests and tarballs under /v1/packages/.

Getting Started

1. Install

Download the Windows installer and launch Ooblerg Package Manager.

2. Refresh

Refresh the repository index from this server so the app sees the newest packages.

3. Build

Install packages such as sqgi, gtk4, vala, or gcc into the local sysroot.
