RE: Compiling Glib 2.16.5 on strawberry perl

[RAPPAZ Francois <francois rappaz unifr ch>]

Finally I succeed to compile this Gtk stuff.

The important thing is to change the prefix line in the pc files in gtk+\lib\pkgconfig with 
prefix=${pcfiledir}/../..

The pc file to choose is the one corresponding to the first library being searched in the  perl Makefile.pl 
step for a given package.

Once this change is done, there is still the need to indicate where all the header files are using 
INC="-Ipath/to/file -I..." 
but LIBS="..." is not needed.

With that the compiling + linking goes without undefined reference errors.

Two remarks:
- why did nobody ever told me that on this list ? Did no one try to compile this stuff on windows ?
- wxWidget is also based on external libs. It is set up in two steps Alien::wxWidget + Wx and it's much, 
much, easier to install.
