I tried using MSYS on Windows to build Glib, but I failed at pkg-config, which complains about unknown escape charaters - probably a too-old g++ version.
We have binaries of the libs we need built and ready here: https://svn.modevia.com/inkscape/devlibs
CMake on the other hand can only use MSVC projects on Windows, and I'm not going to install it since it's super-bloatware.
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" .
CMake works fine for lib2geom.
The problem we had with cmake was that it puts obj files in some special dir that is long, and then creates a commandline like: g++ verylongpathlisting/blah.o possiblyevenlongerpathname/blah2.o ... such that the cmdline is too long to work with windows/g++
