Great, you-re installing dependencies too:)

One thought, though: you're using the cygwin deliverables. Gtk+ has 
cygwin-free binaries too, available from http://www.gtk.org
(I myself compiled all this time vala, but with mingw)

I suppose binaries will soon appear for vala on 
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/ (or someone has to create 
them ?)

The idea is that, when you talk about development files, you need the 
lib folder of the dependencies too, their pkg-config files etc. etc.
(On the Gtk+ site, these are the "Dev" packages). I tried to set up 
instructions too, here 
http://code.google.com/p/gtkaml/wiki/InstallOnWindows)

Thanks for sharing:)
One bug: you really meant "C:\Documents and Settings\All 
Users\Application Data\" didn't you?
I have my Docs'n'settings somewhere else;)

Yes.

And, while looking at the gnuwin32 project, I see their installers use 
the directory structure along the lines of bin/, lib/, share/ etc.
So maybe AppData is not a good idea after all.

Super! Code::Blocks has gdb integration right?
