Well, I haven't gotten it to work yet. But here is where I stand now.

Here is what I had to do.

1. Downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003
http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/

2. Downloaded and installed Microsoft Platform SDK. (a huge download)
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/downlevel.htm

3. Downloaded and installed nmake15.exe
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe

That "theoretically" finishes all components to be installed.

4. Open a new "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2 > Build Environment Window"

5. Run the vcvars32.bat under the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 (or wherever
you installed it)

That "theoretically" is enough to set-up the dev environment.

Now extract the Gtk2-GladeXML-1.004.tar and go the routine
  $ perl Makefile.pl
  $ nmake
  $ nmake test
  $ nmake install
  
But ofcourse, I run into issues here :)

perl Makefile.pl gives me the following (probably harmless) error.

So I proceed to the next step. And bravely type nmake. And at that moment it explodes onto my face

The line too long "NMAKE : fatal error U1095:" seems to be very notorious. Googled it for quite a
while and encountered this thread

So I downloaded and installed the latest version of ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.25 from cpan. And tried
the whole thing again. Still no luck !

Searched the microsoft help center for the "NMAKE : fatal error U1095:" and found this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore/html/U1095.asp

If one of the gurus here can comment on how to make that "supply input from either a file on disk
or an inline file" work, it'll be wonderful.

I am done for today. Will try again tomorrow with a clear mind.

(Attaching the error msg in a file. I think yahoo is going to wrap the lines and make the message
un-readable)

Thanks,
