I made some experiments with gtk+ for windows which you can find at
http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/.

After installing the software (some .lib,.dll and .h files for glib, gdk
and gtk), I just wrote a sample app for Linux. then I copied the app
sources to my windows partition and recompiled it. Besides some smaller
changes to names (files) and some attention to system specific code (File
System accesses, memory allocation, ...) it worked fine.
hope this helps.
