Clinton,

Many thanks for your input, this is much appreciated.

I finally found a way to go forward on my side, I hope it can help others:

I found a VC9 build solution of GSL here:
https://svn.mantidproject.org/mantid/tags/Iteration20/Code/Third_Party/src/gsl-1.12/build.vc9/

I downloaded the content and pasted it under the root directory of GSL.
Note that this build solution relates to GSL1.12 which I downloaded from 
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/

Information on how to build can be found here:
https://svn.mantidproject.org/mantid/tags/Iteration20/Code/Third_Party/src/gsl-1.12/build.vc9/gsl.vc9.readme.txt

Note that I was still unable to build the dlls.
But the static libary built fine and I used them in my VC9 C++ project.
Using those libs I was able to finally link. My executable will be much larger 
but this is fine I can go forward.

If some of the users are interested by a VC10 build find a useful link here:
http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/papanikolaou/htm/gsl.htm

I hope this will help some of you as I spent quiet some time solving this!
regards

Jérôme
