Thanks for the pointer. I read this thread but am not quite sure what
the solution is. I ran the command:
host$ cygcheck -c gtk2-x11
Presumably, that verifies that I do have the necessary package
installed. In fact, my system returns:
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
gtk2-x11 2.4.11-1 OK
So I have GTK 2.0 package installed. The OP goes on to ask how to
correctly set his pkg-config path, the response being:
$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig
So I
host$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig
and try configure again but get the same result as before. Is there
more to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH that I need? Is there documentation
somewhere that will tell me what I should set it to?
Thanks for your patience and assistance.
