They have a package manager somewhere (or so i've been told), a port
of pacman from Arch. Be sure to use that (if you can't find it, go ask
them).

If you want support for their builds, go ask them. They have a mailing
list too, and alexey is available on #mingw-w64 @ irc.oftc.net .

Me, i'm maintaining sbuild[1]. If you use that - then you can ask me
for support.

Because no one from the Glade dev team makes these builds, therefore
they are not inclined to provide the binaries or support them. GTK+
stack includes a whole lot of dependencies, and since other people
took up the task of building and packaging the binaries (for better or
worse), Glade devs may have little incentive to do anything.

Aside from mingw-builds and my own project, there may be Fedora-mingw
builds somewhere, and Tarnyko built the whole GTK stack a while back
(not sure if glade-3.16 was included). There may be others too.
