[libxml++] MinGW - pkg-config problem

[Grosman <korovkin gmail com>]

Hi There, 

I have always used libxml2 2.6.0 and libxml++ 1.0.0 with my visual studio. 
libxml* worked really great ! :) 

Currently i am trying to move from Visual Studio -> G++ on MinGW. 
so - 

libxml2 2.6.0 compilation is behind me. 

libxml++ is a problem: 

it looks like no matter what i do, i still get the following message when i try to configure libxml++-1.0.0 - 

 checking for pkg-config... /mingw/bin/pkg-config
  No package 'libxml-2.0' foundnment variablening `libxml-2.0.pc'ound in the pkg-config search path.
 configure: error: Library requirements (libxml-2.0 >= 2.5.8) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if  your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

i tried things like - 
1. CXXFLAGS="-I /mingw/include"
2. configure --libdir=/mingw/lib --includedir=/mingw/include
... 

nothing helps, i still get the same error. 

when i type : /mingw/bin/pkg-
config.exe --list-all
i get nothing. Why does pkg-config doesn't know about my libxml2 compilation and installation? 

here is the list of /mingw/lib: 

$ ls -la
