Browse ftp://ftp.gtk.org and http://ftp.gnome.org and you will find zip archives that contain the Win32 ports of GTK+ and dependencies, and most GNOME platform libraries, and a few desktop ones. (For instance, ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/win32/ has Win32 ports of GTK+ and dependencies, and http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/platform/2.14/2.14.3/win32/ has the GNOME platform libraries.) There are usually two zip archives for each version of a library: Runtime and developer. (Just like Linux distros have separate runtime and developer packages for libraries.) If your application uses only GTK+ you can use MSVC6 to build your app even if the GTK+ libraries have been built with gcc (mingw). (You might be able to use newer versions of MSVC is you are careful and avoid such GTK+ and GLib API that passes or returns data specific to the C library being used, like file descriptors.) If you use GNOME libraries, you have to use gcc.
