Hi there,

I'm quite experienced at building both gtk and gtkmm with MSVC although 
there are a couple of caveats here...  firstly, I'm building the older 
gtk (gtk2) rather than the newer, gtk3.  And secondly, I'm restricted to 
using an older version of MSVC (i.e. VS2005).  However, if you could 
list the 5 unresolved externals I could possibly let you know what 
libraries they come from and which library version you'll need.

You might also be interested to know that there's an official Microsoft 
project that aims to build the GTK stack (along with all its 
dependencies) with the aim of producing an official Microsoft release 
(basically, Microsoft is getting worried about all us small independent 
devs releasing our own builds and potentially plunging everybody back to 
"DLL Hell").  I'm not sure how advanced the project is but it's been 
going for at least a year.
