http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsblame.cgi?file=glib/README.win32&root=/cvs/gn ome which tries to describe both succesful praticed ways to compile The Gimp (and depencies) on windoze. For further reading http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net/dia_win32_compilation.html may be of interest. Though it does not describe building The Gimp but Dia with the msvc-approach, many of the hints there should be of general interest cause both applications share most of the dependencies. Note that I usually build almost all dependencies direct from cvs and with 'uninstalled' but it should be quite straigtfoward to use the developers packages provided by http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html adapt glib/build/win32/make.msc and glib/build/win32.module.defs to your local installation. IIRC this is what Steffen does for his Dia build. Please report files missing in the tar.gz packages so this can be fixed for the next distribution.
