There's currently work in progress to get bigger parts of GTK
working with static builds. At least it already works for simple
GTK programs.

You could, of course, change the "src/glib.mk", "src/gtk.mk" etc.
to compile as a shared library, and you might have to remove some
of the $(SED) commands to achieve that goal. Note, however, that
this is not supported by our project, because it is already hard
enough to maintain the static-only builds. So you could easily
do that on your own, but then you'd be on your own.

Also note that there are existing GTK development packages and
DLLs. So if you aren't interested in having a statically linked
GTK, you could simply use those, and take everything else from
Mingw-cross-env. Note, however, that this is also not supported
by us, so you might have trouble finding people on this list who
are able to help you.

The third way is to try to get all required packages running as
static builds. This is what I recommend and what we support,
but it is also the hardest and most time consuming approach. So
although it would be great if you'd perform forther investigation
and improvements on the static GTK stuff, it would be perfectly
understandable if you'd decide not to go that route.
