The problem is that Windows do not allow unresolved symbols in dll
libraries. When linking dll libraries, you must provide all dependencies
(as -l flags). If you do not do this libtool will create only static
libraries (.a). All of this is not needed on POSIX systems and therefore
missing from many Makefiles.

You will also need development libraries (.lib or .def -- I am really
not an expert) of glib to successfully link against it.
