Look at this makefile.win for simple gtk "hello-world" application

WINDRES = windres.exe

CFLAGS = $(INCS)-Id:/dev-cpp/include/gtk-2.0 -Id:/dev-cpp/lib/gtk-2.0/include -Id:/dev-cpp/include/atk-1.0 -Id:/dev-cpp/include/pango-1.0 -Id:/dev-cpp/include/glib-2.0 -Id:/dev-cpp/lib/glib-2.0/include  -mms-bitfields  
.PHONY: all all-before all-after clean clean-custom
all: all-before try.exe all-after
clean: clean-custom
        rm -f $(OBJ) $(BIN)
$(BIN): $(OBJ)
        $(CC) $(LINKOBJ) -o "try.exe"  $(LIBS)
main.o: main.c
        $(CC) -c main.c -o main.o $(CFLAGS)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note, that there must be  -mms-bitfields option.  You can add it
manually to project options - parameters - compiler.

You can create Dev-cpp template with all needed options. Note that it
must be C project. In your makefile:
-------------------------------------------
$(BIN): $(OBJ)
        $(CPP) $(LINKOBJ) -o "Gtk_Test.exe" $(LIBS)
-------------------------------------------
you are using C++ compiler - $(CPP).

Look at gtkmm (www.gtkmm.org), it's a thin wrapper for Gtk+. It has
tutorial in installation pakage and many examples.
gtkmm is much more easy than Gtk+.
