Yup, this is where it started messing up for me too...

Hmmm... I also found myself having to rename a few of the other library
directories, like include\gtk-2.0 -> include\gtk, from version dependent
directory names to just the library names.

And then, in lib, it bailed out on

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file
"..\../gtk+\gtk\gtk-win32-2.0.lib"
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'

(The gtk+ directory doesn't exist at all!)

I'll retry the procedures from start using your modifications, and see
where I end up!
