A search for "glib.h" on the Ethereal site gave e.g. me the following mesage:

If you have spaces in the directory names you could try to put the path like this:
GLIB_DIR="C:\ethereal src\glib"
instead of
GLIB_DIR=C:\ethereal src\glib

I think that it will work then, but it may be even better to avoid the spaces in the directory names.

If you still have problems then it might be better to send the log (or an extract from it) so that it's
possible to see the complete error messages and the arguments used during the build.
