I've tried adding "-X -mwindows" to valac to compile a simple sample
program that uses GTK,
but I'm getting an error that says: "c:\vala-0.5.1\bin\ld.exe: cannot
find -lcomdlg32".

The problem is that you have to download and unzip the file "w32api-3.11.tar.gz" (www.mingw.org) in the vala folder. It work for me because i intalled before mingw. That's why i tell gege to add vala in a separate zip file.

I installed mingw downloading MinGW-5.1.4.exe (www.mingw.org) that automatically download all the zip files and unzip the files in a folder (This way is simple, but you have to add to the path environment variable the folder that you installed mingw)
