i wanted to try to get leafpad running in windows xp

ok, the requirements for leafpad version 0.8.14 are
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.0.x. Other dependencies include:
libgnomeprint22 & libgnomeprintui22 >= 2.2.0 (optional)


im running windows xp and ive installed the gtk+ 2 runtime enviroment (the one you need for gimp)
now my question is, is it possible to take the source code from leafpad and compile it in windows and have it work?
what would i need to make this possible?
