Are you sure you have all the DLLs copied to the same directory as your exe ?

The following is a list of DLLs that, to my understanding, are required to run GTK+ programs in Windows:

libatk-1.0-0.dll
libcairo-2.dll
libcairo-gobject-2.dll
libcairo-script-interpreter-2.dll
libcroco-0.6-3.dll
libffi-6.dll
libfontconfig-1.dll
libfreetype-6.dll
libgailutil-3-0.dll
libgdk-3-0.dll
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll
libgio-2.0-0.dll
libglib-2.0-0.dll
libgmodule-2.0-0.dll
libgobject-2.0-0.dll
libgthread-2.0-0.dll
libgtk-3-0.dll
libiconv-2.dll
libintl-8.dll
libjasper-1.dll
libjpeg-9.dll
liblzma-5.dll
libpango-1.0-0.dll
libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll
libpangoft2-1.0-0.dll
libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll
libpixman-1-0.dll
libpng15-15.dll
librsvg-2-2.dll
libtiff-5.dll
libxml2-2.dll
pthreadGC2.dll
zlib1.dll

Based on my experience, this should work.

Also, make sure all the libraries are linked in the compiler options.
