The Windows port of GTK 2.x isn't fully cooked yet. At least I couldn't get it to work. Has anyone successfully built on Windows with GTK 2.x?

The official guideline right now is "the requirements for compiling
aren't up-to-date and haven't been for a while". :-)

There's been GTK 2.x support for a while, so GLib 2.x support's been
available for a while as well.

On UNIX-flavored systems, GLib 1.2[.x]/GTK+ 1.2[.x] should work, as
should GLib 2.x/GTK+ 2.x.

On Windows, the old GLib 1.2 (or was it 1.3?)/GTK+ 1.3 combination that
we used to use should still work, as should the GLib 2.x/GTK+ 1.3[.x]
combination from the GTK+-for-Windows site (that's what we're currently
shipping with) and, probably, the GLib 2.x/GTK+ 2.x combination from
there as well.

I don't think Tor Lillqvist (the person who did the Win32 ports of
GLib, GTK+, and the GIMP) is keeping it around any more.  I don't know
if anybody's kept that old version around.
