Pango is not tied to a GTK version. You can use GTK 2 for this.

What do you mean "not recognized"? The compiler reports an undefined function? 
The linker reports an undefined function? The function has been around for a 
very long time (at least since Pango 1.10) so this is not something new. It 
appears your development environment is missing headers and/or libraries.

Something to consider: I cross-compile Windows binaries under Fedora using MinGW 
packages. You may find this a better alternative as packages will be up-to-date 
(GTK 2.24.22), packaged properly, and find some support from the packagers and 
upstream in case something like this goes wrong.
