You already asked that in your previous mail. Didn't you see my reply?
(The answer is "yes".)

I don't see gtk-win32-2.0.lib there, which is where the gtk_*

(Searching most of the other libraries you list above is pointless for
typical GTK+ code. Unless you know that you use functions from, say,
libiconv or libart_lglp in your code, no need to mention them.)
