Re: Win32 .pc files

[Cedric Gustin <cedric gustin gmail com>]

You're talking about mounting /target. Are you running a cygwin bash ?
If yes, are you sure  pkg-config is the one provided with the GTK+
distribution (gladewin32) and not with the cygwin distribution ('which
pkg-config' will tell you). I'm asking this because, unlike the native
win32 pkg-config, pkg-config from cygwin does not perform this
dynamical change of the prefix entry in .pc files...

On a side note, I try to install GTK+ and gtkmm on a win32 box, both
using the same root directory and separate ones, and I got the
expected result using pkg-config and the PKG_CONFIG_PATH trick I
mentioned earlier.
