 Since these are mostly GLIB functions, I guess your glib is not set
 correctly. You have to unzip glib-dev and gtk-dev to a directory, and
 define it in the config.nmake.

 Extract of my config.nmake:

    GTK_VERSION=2.0
    GLIB_VERSION=2.0
    GLIB_DIR=C:\ethereal-win32-libs\glib
    GTK_DIR=C:\ethereal-win32-libs\gtk2

 You need to unzip the gtk and glib (non -dev) DLL to the directory you
 want to put ethereal.exe, tethereal.exe, etc. or in your PATH (I change
 my PATH to add C:\DLL\GTK-GLIB and put them in there).


 I did not manage to build the GTK parts (they are crashing at runtime)
 with GTK2, and I could not build at all with GTK1.3, but I didn't
 care. If you do, I'd be interested in your findings.

 Life is too hard.   ;)
