This method is deprecated and no longer needed. It's preventing the project from building correctly in the Windows platform
g_thread_init() is still needed in GLib 2.30 and older, but since GLib 2.24, g_type_init() implies g_thread_init (NULL). Salut already calls g_type_init(), and depends on GLib 2.24, so it doesn't need to initialize threads explicitly. If that wasn't true, this change wouldn't be safe. It's pretty subtle, so please amend the commit message to justify why it's OK (e.g. copy the previous paragraph sentence). After that, this is OK to commit.

Salut calls g_type_init(), which implies g_thread_init(NULL), and depends on GLib 2.24, so it doesn't need to initialize threads explicitely. Therefore, it is safe to remove the call in this case
