Oh, well I was just going by what it says at
http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php
"GTK+ 2.24 is the current maintained version." I did progress past the
zlib1d.lib hurdle as I eventually found I cam link against zdll.lib
instead of zlib1.lib
I've progressed to ..\..\..\gobject\gclosure.c(29): fatal error C1083:
Cannot open include file: 'ffi.h': No such file or directory
and I have no idea where that is supposed to come from.

Ultimately it's not something they teach us at polytechnic. I'm much
more interested in actually using gstreamer in my own multi-media
applications.
Thanks for the useful information. For the time being I'll carry on
working with gstreamer 0.10  as I want to get on with inputting a
video stream thru DirectX.
