You are still confusing glibc and GLib. glibc is the GNU C library, as
used on for instance GNU/Linux. As far as I know it is not available
for Windows (other than some small parts perhaps), as it is definitely
intended for Unix-like systems.

What you seem to mean is GLib, which is something totally different.

(Remember to scroll that page until you see the highlighted entries.)

As it says, that is the *documentation* for glibc. I don't know if
Kees is hinting that he is porting glibc to Win32 by providing the
documentation package? But anyway, it has nothing to do with GLib.

To use GLib, you need to install
GLib. http://www.gimp.org/win32/downloads.html . The currently most
recent glib runtime zipfile is
http://www.gimp.org/win32/glib-2.0.6-20020802.zip . To use it from
your programs, also download the developer package,
http://www.gimp.org/win32/glib-dev-2.0.6-20020802.zip .

You will also need libiconv and libintl, as glib depends on
them. Links to these are on the same page. (As it happens, neither is
a version provided by GnuWin32, so this thread really shouldn't be on
this list...)
