I suspect the question rather conserns compability between Windows

No, it concerns compatibility between systems with GLib 1.2[.x] and systems with GLib 2.x.
What has happend is that a program developed under windows (probably ) uses 
functions only avalable
under GLib 2.x/GTK+ 1.3[.x] compiles fine under windows but does not compile 
on *nix systems.
Or, rather, does not compile on systems with GLib 1.2[.x]. There are *nix systems with GLib 2.x, although they probably also have GTK+ 2.x.
Is it possible to do the same in the "general" tree e.g use GTK 1.2.x and 
GTK+ 1.2.x BUT GLib 2.2.x,
to get the same development environment for both Windows and other systems ? 

I don't know whether GTK+ 1.2[.x] and GLib 2.x work together.
Furthermore, there are systems that will not have GLib 2.x, so you *still* have to make sure your code works with GLib 1.2[.x]. 


Or does the program have to be changed to work under GLib 1.2[.x]


Yes.
