Where is the makefile you reference in "Then I ran the 'perl Makefile.PL', 'dmake' mantra." ?

The Makefile.PL ships with the G::O::I-0.020 source and is found in the top level directory.
Running 'perl Makefile.PL' will create a file named "Makefile" (in the same directory) for dmake to use.

Those "undefined" references that you get, are defined for me by C:/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0.lib.
However, my build is wanting to resolve things like "_g_free", whereas for you it's "g_free" (ie no leading underscore.)

What does perl -V:archname report for you ?
In order to use these Introspection binaries, it needs to match x86, not x64.
That is, it needs to be a 32-bit build of Strawberry Perl - which will work fine on your 64-bit Windows, btw. If you haven't already done so, you could always grab a 32-bit "portable" Stawberry Perl - then you can have both perls on the same machine without them interfering with each other.

I've also discovered that there's a bit more I need to do before I have a serviceable build of G::O::I. For the current state of play, see the bug report I opened.

GTk3 has been installed by many Windows users I'm sure

I don't think so. I certainly don't know of any.

Cheers,
Rob

Afterthought: If you run dmake in verbose mode (ie dmake -v) then you'll get to see precisely which library files are being linked in.
