How to install Meld on Windows and getting it set up with Git
After installing it http://sourceforge.net/projects/meld-installer/
I had to tell git where it was:
git config --global merge.tool meld
git config --global diff.tool meld
git config --global mergetool.meld.path “C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\meld\meld.exe”
And that seems to work. Both merging and diffing with “git difftool” or “git mergetool”

This worked. Although the directory structure has changed so pay attention to the path. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the info!

Currently Meld is by default installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\Meld.exe so you may set it like this:

git config --global mergetool.meld.path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\Meld.exe'

I am having trouble setting this up. My errors look exactly like https://stackoverflow.com/q/58100654/2988730. It appears that GTK is not getting picked up for some reason.

I added this to my path (env variable):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld

That way I can share my git config between windows and ubuntu (dont need to set mergetool.meld.path)
