Re: building under mingw

[Dov Kruger <Dov Kruger stevens edu>]

Building the whole gtk is pretty frustrating at times, but on windows
it's downright opaque. If anyone can help, I can't find any references

We installed a working mingw, and can build c++ code.
mingw is working under minsys. Make works.
glib won't build without pkg-config:
configure --prefix /opt

make fails with the message:
package.h:24:18: glib.h no such file or directory

pkg-config won't build without a glib header file
We're currently trying to put just the header file in place, but that
seems like the wrong thing to do.

Any pointers to a prebuilt, clean environment under windows are great.
Alternatively, any hints about a sequence of operations we can take to
get a working environment would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,
Dov
