Your source code doesn't work, so let's compare environments. I have:

Note that if you are using fedora (and possibly other Linux distributions)
it comes with lots of win32 packages precompiled. E.g. all you need to do
to get gtk2 and its dependencies is to do:
dnf install mingw32-gtk2
You can then compile your gtk programs for windows through cross

SCons uses the Sconstruct files to do the cross-compilation and also calls
