Hi,

you need a cross compiler for win32 installed on linux to do this. In
Gentoo the package names are xmingw*. Perhaps you find something in your
distribution or google with these keywords.

Then you need to compile all win32 gtk libs with this cross compiler or
in win32 and then install them into the correct path in linux. I suggest
to try first to cross compile a very simple example without any extra
gtk libs. Static linking is an option but not nessesary.

Or perhaps you like to use another programming language and gtk binding.
A scriptable language has no need to recompile for different systems.

regards
Andreas
