Re: Pango GTK+ on Windows

[Pete Nagy <Peter Nagy vexcel com>]

Hi Tor ->

  Unfortunately my paths didn't look anything like the *should* structure,
since, as it turns out, my zip extraction wizard defaults with the name of
the file as a destination directory and I left it in there thinking it
belonged, kind of like the way self extracting zips usually put something
reasonable there.  So, instead of all packages together in a common lib,
include, etc., each package had lib, include, etc. subdirectories.

  I am undoubtedly denser than most, and may be the only one who has
ever made this mistake, but perhaps a note like:

  Make sure you enter the installation top directory as the destination
when unzipping these packages, and not a package subdirectory, so they
merge together into a single installation!  This *should* look like:
 ...

  Thanks for everything,

  Cheers,

-> Pete
