3. Click 'Environment Variables...'
4. Ensure there is a user variable named `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` with value `C:\gtk-build\gtk\x64\release\lib\pkgconfig`
5. Edit the variable named `Path` and add `C:\gtk-build\gtk\x64\release\lib\pkgconfig` to it

### Ensure your linker can find GTK's library files

Open `%HOMEPATH%\.cargo\config` for editing. You can add extra flags for your linker here to tell it where GTK's library files are. If you're using the `stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` Rust toolchain, your config may look like this:

```toml
[target.x86_64-pc-windows-msvc]
rustflags = ["-C", "link-args=/LIBPATH:C:\\gtk-build\\gtk\\x64\\release\\lib\\"]
```

This `rustflags` value should work for Microsoft's linker as well as LLVM's `lld-link.exe`.
6. Ensure there is a user variable named `Lib` with value `C:\gtk-build\gtk\x64\release\lib` (or add new value to existing variable if already exists)

You can now continue with the [project setup](./project_setup.html).
