I use the installer you gave in your link above, which works fine. It
then kicks off the auto-download of the gtk_setup.exe file (which I
assume is the gladwin32 installer?). I both tell installers to
download into c:\MinGW. For some reason, the *.pc GTK(MM) file still
have /target in them as their prefix value.
