As far as GTK+3 libs for Windows, someone (I think Emmanuele Bassi)
posted this into the IRC channel:

http://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2013/10/28/gtk-3-on-windows/

If you are referring to this guide [1] for building Gtk2 on Windows,
note that those instructions use Visual C++, not MinGW.

When I built the Gtk2 module (and friends), I used MinGW.  If you want
to try to follow my (very old now) instructions, you can start at [2].
 Note that there's now two different MinGW projects, and I haven't
tried either, so they may both work, or not.  It's been a while since
I tried to build Gtk2 and friends on Windows, so I'm not sure what the
state of the art is anymore.

Thanks,

Brian
