Why do you want to compile it as a static library? Some features in
GTK+ won't work unless it is a DLL: The DllMain function looks up from
the path to the DLL from the system, and locates its message catalogs
and initialisation files from that.

I have never myself built GTK+ as a static library. What kind of
errors do you get? What build environment do you use?

Nope. (Licensing note: You are of course free to build static libs if
you like, and distribute your versions to whomever. My distribution
doesn't have any special status with respect to the GTK+ license.)
