There is an easier way:

1) download glpk tarball from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/ or from
some mirror GNU ftp site; the most recent version is 4.8.

2) unzip and untar the tarball using WinZip or a similar utility.

3) follow instructions in makefile w32bc5.mak to compile the package
and build the static library.
