Thanks for your reply, John. I have the problem that GTK drag'n'drop
does not work on Windows 7 while Kaspersky Security 2014 or TuneUp
Utilities 2014 is running. I just want to debug into the GTK source to
see if I can fix it myself... maybe a too ambitious aim.

As I mentioned earlier, building from source isn't something for a
beginner. This is especially true if you want to build with VS2013.
You need to keep in mind that it isn't simply a matter of building
GTK+. You'd also need to build all the libraries on which GTK+
depends, as well as all the libraries on which they depend etc, etc.
At the very least you'd need to build:-
Gtk+
Pango
Cairo
Atk
Glib
but you'd almost certainly need others too - such as sigc++ / pixman /
i18n / freetype / gdk-pixbuf and a whole host of others. Having said
all that, there's an open-source project called HexChat which looks
like it might have been built with VS2013:-
http://hexchat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/building.html
If you visit that page you'll notice that they provide pre-built
bundles for x86 and x64. I haven't downloaded them but (hopefully)
those bundles would include everything you'll need to get you
started. And (BIG BONUS HERE) a few lines further down there's a
helpful guide for building the entire GTK+ stack with VS2013 !!
OTOH, most of the official libraries contain VS projects but they're
predominantly for VC++ 9 (i.e. Visual Studio 2008). So alternatively,
you could download the free version of VS2008 and build with that:-

Good luck !
John
