As I mentioned earlier, building from source isn't something for a
beginner. This is especially true if you want to build with VS2013.
You need to keep in mind that it isn't simply a matter of building
GTK+. You'd also need to build all the libraries on which GTK+ depends,
as well as all the libraries on which they depend etc, etc. At the very
least you'd need to build:-
Gtk+
Pango
Cairo
Atk
Glib
but you'd almost certainly need others too - such as sigc++ / pixman /
i18n / freetype / gdk-pixbuf and a whole host of others. Having said
all that, there's an open-source project called HexChat which looks like
it might have been built with VS2013:-
http://hexchat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/building.html
If you visit that page you'll notice that they provide pre-built bundles
for x86 and x64. I haven't downloaded them but (hopefully) those
bundles would include everything you'll need to get you started. And
(BIG BONUS HERE) a few lines further down there's a helpful guide for
building the entire GTK+ stack with VS2013 !!
OTOH, most of the official libraries contain VS projects but they're
predominantly for VC++ 9 (i.e. Visual Studio 2008). So alternatively,
you could download the free version of VS2008 and build with that:-

Good luck !
