It’s in rust. Problem is the gtk part, it has to be installed in the system, which makes it run there. But how do I distribute the program without having everyone install gtk on their computer. In Linux it’s just a dependency so it’s not a problem, for windows I can’t seem to make it work.
Edit: also, I need gtk because people around me who uses windows aren’t going to use CLI program at all.

If that’s the reason - maybe you can use TUI instead? In Windows, it’d open a CMD window which your users will be able to use. Not as pretty as actual GUI, but easier for Windows users to use than a CLI.
Another option is to use one of the numerous Rust-native GUI libraries (like iced or Druid, to name a few). None of them are as big as GTK/QT - but they are easier to get running on Windows.
Make them in a portable language. Something like Java for example. Or you can write in rust and compile for each target.
