You still didn't tell us what shell (command interpreter) you are
using. Are you typing this to a Unix-style shell or not? Are you sure
the same PATH variable is valid in this shell?

You mean to cmd.exe (or command.com)? Are you sure you have the same
PATH value in Command Prompt and in the Unix-style shell where you
invoke gcc?

No. pkg-config isn't supposed to be an argument to gcc. Do you see
those backquotes (the ` "quotes" or "accents") in the command line? In
Unix-style shells, they mean that the stuff between backquotes is run
as a command by itself, and the *output* of that command is then
pasted in instead.

If you don't have a Unix-style shell (which I tend to believe),
backquotes won't work.
