In what shell is that? Please note that the Windows Command Prompt
(cmd.exe or command.com) doesn't understand the Unix shell style
backquote syntax (the ` stuff).

Yes, if you don't have a Unix style shell, you will have to do it like
that. But instead of typing that by hand every time, at least put the
command(s) in a .bat file. Preferrably, learn to use Make.

BTW, you should also pass gcc the -mms-bitfields flag.

Well, are you sure libglib-2.0-0.dll is in c:\gtk\lib? The zipfile I
distribute has it in "bin".

Either use some Unix-style shell that understands backquotes, or
cut-and-paste pkg-config's output into a .bat file, or a makefile.
