OK - I'm trying a bit harder this time. I have installed mingw/msys and
have created a file called dia-win32-mingw-02.diff containing your patch
in ../mingw/dia-0.95/ although I don't exactly know how to deal with it.
I presume it has to be nominated somewhere in configure.in. Any advice?

In the ../mingw/dia-0.95/ directory I am running ...

   ./configure --with-python; make; make install

Checking seems to proceed for some distance before failing at ...

- - last few lines of mingw configure error message - ->
...
checking for pkg-config... /mingw/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GMODULE... configure: error: Package requirements 
(gmodule-2.0 gobject-2.0) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively you may set the GMODULE_CFLAGS and GMODULE_LIBS 
environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config.  See the pkg-config man page for
more details.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: Nothing to be done for `install'.

- - - - end of error message - - - -

Google found gmodule and gobject sources for me in glib-morphos.lha but 
I cannot compile them. What I think I really need are gmodule and 
gobject binaries so I can get a bit further compiling dia-0.95 as per 
the above error message.

Thanks for any advice

Regards

Mike
