So it sounds like manedit uses source code that was originally from a
Windows application that doesn't use GLIB nor GTK.

It sounds like you should get rid of the dependency of using Windows
specific type definitions in manedit's code.  For example, somewhere
in a header file which is not from the Windows shared sources, you
should add something like:

typedef guint8 u_int8_t

Basically, there a number of ways to fix this cross-platform problem.
What's currently there just doesn't really work.
