hmm, as for the log, the problem is when linking libgobject, so it seems
you'll need to add $(top_builddir)/glib/libglib-2.0.la (or whatever path
it is) to the gobject/Makefile.am, so that it gets linked with
libglib-2.0. In linux this works because the library dependencies are
resolved when linking an application against the library, not when
linking a library against the library, which is what is happening here,
it seems. Try adding that, and tell us what you get.

About the user32.dll problem, I don't know :-(
