If you're compiling with MinGW, you should always use the MinGW-produced
libraries, and same for MSVC - never mix the two, or you'll have trouble.

Anyway, to save yourself from building GLib with MinGW, you can use the
binaries provided by the OpenSuSE build service:
<http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_12.1/noarch/>
<http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win64/openSUSE_12.1/noarch/>

There's a convenient script for downloading from the OpenSUSE repositories
available here: <https://github.com/mkbosmans/download-mingw-rpm>
