You are mixing the Cygwin and MinGW environments. This *will not work*. The thing you are trying to compile does not appear to have been ported to allow it to run on native Windows, and to run it on Cygwin would require a Cygwin-compiled gtk+, which is a whole new can of worms.

You have 2 options, as far as I can see - give up, or devote lots of time to either porting GPA, or compiling a Cygwin gtk+ (and all its many dependencies.)
