Hi Ken -- the answer is "sort of" -- I have to export a variable to tell
where the executable is, but configure tries running this executable and
fails because the command tries to load some unnamed dll and fails.
Supposedly all the support dlls should be available in the zip file or in
the other packages I installed. If it would just name the dll I would know
more how to fix it.

Are you telling me that pkg config runs at the command line but configure
can't find it? I have always hated this pk config thing.

Greetings all --
I say urgent because I know it is late in the day, but I needed to have this
working long ago and I'm annoyed that it is still failing.
First the scenario:
I am building some libraries on windows, both 32 and 64 bit. I am using
MinGW as a mock linux environment as this software was developed on linux.
2 out of the 3 libraries configure and build fine, but the last library
fails because of a missing command called pkg-config.
I downloaded and installed the pkg-config binaries for 32 and 64 bit. I also
downloaded and installed glib, another bit of software due to a dependency
in the software.
Note, when I say install, I mean I unzipped the binaries to their rightful
places in the MinGW tree. I didn't start any processes running, just
exported an environment variable so configure could find pkg-config.
But configure is failing when it tries to run pkg-config. It dies saying it
can't find a runtime, which I assume is a dll.
It does find pkg-config, but can't execute it.
I have tried everything short of diving into whatever docs I can find, which
I don't have as the zip only came with binaries.
So can someone please enlighten me on how this can be made to work?
I have posted queries on the mingw users list but they haven't answered my
latest queries.
Thanks and happy hacking.
(My hacking is haphazard...*smile*)
