I had the same problem once. To make it work you should have Cygwin or MinGW installed on your system. Download GTKWave and all_libs from dspia.com/gtkwave.html as Martin Thompson suggested. Then unzip everything into the same folder. The important thing to make it run under Windows is to put the executable gtkwave.exe into the subfolder all_libs/bin (this is were all the .dlls are located) or to add it to your path. This way I could make GTKWave run under Windows 7.

Binaries for current versions can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtkwave/files/

I am desperately trying to install GTKWave on my Windows machine. Can anyone give me so tips or redirect me to a good tutorial (or even better, post a small tutorial here)?

I think the documentation is not very up to date since it says that GTKWave is available via Cygwin, which it isn't.

  @Martin Thompson hey, thank you. I already tried that but I can't get it working. What exactly do I have to do there? Which files do I have to place where?

  Ahh. I assumed it would just work. Sorry! Do you need GTKWave specifically, or would any old VCD viewer work?

  Well, isnt GTKWave the only free one?

  apt-get install gtkwave channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2016/P488 :-) (not really because GUI is unsupported yet)
