Why do you think you have to compile Gtk+ yourself,
especially that you have to start with that?  Of course, you
have to compile your app.  But the former does not follow
from the latter.

IAFAIK this was successfuly tried with cross-compilation for
MS Windows on U*ix.  But cross-compilation for Mac OS X on
MS Windows with MinGW is something that -- if ever tried --
will require much deeper knowledge than what configure and
Makefile.in are for (no offence please).

Since you need the target system for testing anyway, start
with compilation for each system on that system, and once it
works, you can attempt cross-compilation.

And it ended with some error...

...because no Makefile was created.  Without that error it's
hard to say.

Please read some tutorial on the GNU automake/autoconf/...
toolchain (there are plenty of them).

Install it, for example from GladeWin32
(http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/).

I'm sorry but this sentence is totally unintelligible.
