gtk_builder_add_from_file() fails under windows with DOS file format(build "GTK4_GVsbuild_2024.7.0_x64)" Win 10

[taghavi74]

Hello everyone,

gtk_builder_add_from_file() (build "GTK4_GVsbuild_2024.7.0_x64") fails under windows when the file is a dos file and not a unix(CR LF instead LF) .

I tride to validate with

gtk4-builder-tool validate builder.ui
and get error message
failed to add UI: Error on line 1 char 1: Document must begin with an element (e.g. )

I tried the same command with another installation under MSYS2 and same thing happened.

I compare functioning example(in MSYS2) with this one and notice the file difference I ran dos2unix on original file
and now the windows version is working too.

there is a simple work-around for sure but shoulden't windows build be compatible with windows file ?

thank you in advance.
