It means there's something weird going on with your installation.
GThread comes as part of GLib, so if GLib is installed, GThread should
also be there. Basically this should work:

 pkg-config.exe --cflags --libs glib-2.0

and

 pkg-config.exe --cflags --libs gthread-2.0

and there should be a glib-2.0.pc and gthread-2.0.pc file somewhere (in
$prefix/lib/pkgconfig usually).

I have no idea why you don't have that. (Maybe GLib has been built with
the threads stuff disabled; I thought that wasn't possible any more
though).

Cheers
