these errors are most probably caused because some libs are missing or
not found. But in any case independent from Geany.
Maybe you want to have a look at Geany's src/makefile.win32 in the
source tarball, there is a list of necessary libraries and linker flags,
for Geany.

This seems to be the same request you posted some wees ago
(http://lists.uvena.de/pipermail/geany/2009-July/004753.html) :).
I had a look and added some code to expand system environment
variables, see SVN r4050. If you don't build Geany yourself on Windows,
wait until Monday, 05:00 UTC and download the nightly binary from
http://nightly.geany.org to test it.

There seems to be a problem with expanded paths which contain spaces,
i.e. a quoting problem. I'm not yet sure where this happens and how to
fix it, but for paths without quotes it should work already.

HTH,
Enrico
