Hi Jake,

Did you success to compil your glib-2.8.6 version, because me I am trying
to compil glib2.4.0 on WIndows 64-bits.

If you have some stable predefined  glib/*.h  that I could use to fix my
trouble it could be greatfull.
And also if you have some details to well compiled under windows 64 (are
you using MINGW/MSYS or VISUAL2005 ?)

Thanks
