You need to set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to point to
where the pkgconfig files are stored for your cross compiler
environment.  On my box, I have to do

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/i386-mingw32msvc-gcc/lib/pkgconfig

then I can do the compile and link and pkg-config finds the right
library paths.
