New to the list but not to compiling gtk programs on Windows. 

I decided to try my hand on compiling Inkscape on 64-bit Windows 7 after users of my Gimp builds urged me to look into Inkscape. However, I am running into an issue that is not making sense to me. The compile fails on the ui/dialog part of the tree with a message that giom/dbusmessage.h has an error in it!. I can post the exact error if needed. However, thought this might be familiar to veterans out there and so decided to post. I am using gcc 4.7.2 if that matters.

If/once I am successful, I will be happy to put up builds on my website.

While Googling for 64-bit builds, I see that there is virtually nothing out there for Inkscape. The SuSE builds are interesting and work. However, the ui is screwy in that you cannot open any files or save them. In other words, no dialog box shows up when you run it. So, it's not very useful. :)

Thanks in advance,
