Umm, why?

You downloaded one of *what*? And how did you "run" "it" in your
compiler?

It certainly doesn't seem like rebuilding GTK is something you should
attempt. Unless you by "rebuilding" mean something else than "rebuild
from its source code"?

To me it seems that what you really want is to download the developer
packages for GTK+ and its dependencies, and then tell your compiler
where to find the header files and (import) libraries. Please ask on
the Dev-C++ list, or read the documentation that hopefully comes with
Dev-C++.
