I eventually got round to doing this today. It's a very simple thing 
which I probably should have done earlier! The resulting error message 
said that it could not find the appropriate image loader. I had tried 
putting the loader directly in C:\Windows\System, but it had to go in 
C:\Windows\System\lib\gtk-2.0\2.10.0\loaders.

Anyway, I put it in the required location, and when I ran the program 
it said it jpeg62.dll was missing. So I put that in C:\WIndows\System 
and it worked!

Someone else had mentioned that the compiler shouldn't matter. I can 
confirm that the compiler I was using (Microsoft's cl) produces a 
working executable, as does the one used by Visual Studio 2005 (which 
may also be cl...).


Thanks for everyone's help.
