Re: Problem compiling Pango on WIn32

[Fredrik Corneliusson <fredrik corneliusson gmail com>]

Replying to myself.
I got it working by reinstalling this time I used the TDM MSYS
distribution ("tdm-mingw-1.908.0-4.4.1-2") instead of the standard
MSYS.
However MSYS and MSYS-DTK versions are the same as I used before.

But I do not know why I had the problem in the first place..
