You probably want to be using the newest versions of glib 2.12 and
pango 1.14 instead. (And gtk+ 2.10 once the next (source) release of
that is done, after which I will produce Win32 binaries.)

You should pass the CFLAGS and LIBS separately. CFLAGS goes before the
source files, and LIBS goes *after*. With gcc on Linux it doesn't
matter, but the order and position of libraries on the command line
*does* matter with gcc on Windows. Also with traditional Unix
compilers is is important.

I would also spell out the .exe.

I.e., what you want is:

i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -o helloworld.exe `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` helloworld.c `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`
