Using jhbuild on cygwin


Hello,
I am trying to port my gtkmm program (that runs well on linux) to windows, but it seems there is a bug in gtkmm or the underlying gtk+ that keeps my program from starting. Now to debug that, I use the official method of building gtkmm with jhbuild (http://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm-tutorial/stable/chapter-working-with-source.html.en). I was able to setup jhbuild under linux only with minor problems that I could solve for myself, but now on windows (with cygwin) there are some things that just won't work.


I use cygwin on a virtual Windows 7 x64. My environment should be okay, I only added two lines to my .bashrc, the first for jhbuild to be found and the second one because I had pkgconfig problems with jhbuilder on linux, and now I tried that to fix some other errors. I adjusted it for my cygwin environment.
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/home/qwertz/.local/bin
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig:/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/pkgconfig


My first problem are the depencies not of jhbuild itself but for the building process. This is what I get... I don't know how to change my language in cygwin, but I think the comments are okay, right?

$ jhbuild sysdeps --install
# the following are modules that depend on other unknown modules
# jhbuild had this kind of "problem" under linux too, but it worked anyway

# I don't know if the following is an issue. On Google I found that this is probably a pkgconfig problem
# and jhbuild also uses pkgconfig but I don't know if there is a way of editing how it is used
Package 'libpng' has no Name: field
Im System installierte ausreichend aktuelle Pakete:
# here is more output but I think it's not important. here the already present depencies were listed
Benötigte Pakete:
Im System installierte Pakete, die zu alt sind:
# too old packages: (none)
(keine)
Kein passendes Systempaket installiert:
# didn't find following packages
libXft (xft.pc, Benötigt=2.0.0) # I installed this and I'm quite sure it was recognized, but now it isn't
python-devel (python.pc, Benötigt=2.5) # well, I got the basic python package installed, and didn't find any python-dev or python-devel in the cygwin installer. do I have to build this separately?
libpng (libpng.pc) # installed this too and it somewhen was recognized
Optionale Pakete: (JHBuild wird die fehlenden Pakete erstellen)
# those are optional and I cut them out therefore
# this is probably normal on cygwin. It sais that it doesn't know how to install packages on the system (normally it would install all depencies)
jhbuild sysdeps: Unbekannt, wie Pakete auf diesem System installiert werden können


During the building process (I am able to start that without the depencies) there are more errors, but I think when the depencies are met some of those will vanish, so this is the first thing I have to solve.
