Yesudeep:
Thank you.
Using the installers from the installation video to which you sent a
link below , I was successful in creating a working GTK+
environment. So far, I have been able to compile successfully in MSys
shells, Windows command line,
and within Dev-C++. pkg-config finally works. The major difference
between what did not work and
what did work, was that before I was downloading the zip files from
the Gimp download site,
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html
<http://www.gimp.org/%7Etml/gimp/win32/downloads.html>
and unzipping them into the MinGW directory.
I want to note that I was successful in creating a working GTK+
environment under Cygwin by installing
GTK and then building pkg-config from source, from within a Cygwin
shell, but it ONLY worked in Cygwin,
rather limiting.
The next steps are to figure out how to create projects from withing
Dev-C++ that do not create console
windows in addition to the window I create. I know I can use Glade to
do this, but I do not want to work in
a GUI -- I prefer to write code.
One last note -- I could not view the video in any browser (plugins
failed), nor in any application on my Windows
machine (Nero, Realplayer, WinDVD, WMP). I had to view it in my Linux
video player.
I could view it on my Windows XP box. Great idea doing a "movie" - well
done. The soundtrack was not working on my machine though :)

Again, Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, but the problem is more complex than
this. Yesudeep's two replies
can be combined and summarized as follows:
1. Try installing using the installers from
http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net
2. Make sure that the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH is
properly set by editing the
bash configuration files and/or system environment variables.
3. Use the installation instructions from
http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/GladeGuide

I seem to agree with the old Chinese proverb: "A picture is worth
a thousand words".
I'd like to add a little more to it though: "A movie is worth a
million."
Here's a screen-cast demonstrating installing GTK+ on Windows:

<http://www.jamesbooker.co.uk/%7Ejburd/gtk/install/win32/>
Note: I do not have Cygwin installed on my machine, and when I did
I avoided adding Cygwin paths/executables to my PATH environment
variable.
That dramatically reduced the problems I was facing. The UNIX
tools you see
me using are from the GNUWin32 project.
If installing this way does not solve your problem, do let us know.
Regards,
Yesudeep.
