Thanks for the reply, but the problem is more complex than this. Yesudeep's two replies

can be combined and summarized as follows:

1. Try installing using the installers from http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net

2. Make sure that the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH is properly set by editing the

    bash configuration files and/or system environment variables.

3. Use the installation instructions from http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/GladeGuide

I seem to agree with the old Chinese proverb: "A picture is worth a thousand words".
I'd like to add a little more to it though: "A movie is worth a million."
Here's a screen-cast demonstrating installing GTK+ on Windows:

Note:  I do not have Cygwin installed on my machine, and when I did
I avoided adding Cygwin paths/executables to my PATH environment variable.  
That dramatically reduced the problems I was facing.  The UNIX tools you see
me using are from the GNUWin32 project.

If installing this way does not solve your problem, do let us know.

Regards,
Yesudeep.
