I don't remember exactly where I got that file from, but the header says it part of the mingw package. For building gtk+ applications, like subsurface, you'll also need the gtk+ headers and libraries. I used the all-in-one bundle [1].

In fact, I could have used the same directory for everything, instead of the extra /opt/i586-mingw32msvc directory, but that's just a leftover from long time ago :-)

Jeff, would you mind if I put this on the subsurface website (with some modifications - simply to make it consistent with what I have there about building subsurface on Windows)

Thanks
