I found this problem started today, after deleting the installation done with mono-4.2.3.4-gtksharp-2.12.30-win32-0.msi and replacing it with the current installation, mono-4.4.1.0-gtksharp-2.12.38-win32-0.msi
With the current build, pkg-config.exe crashes within one of the system DLL's, no matter what the args might be. (This really feels like a buffer overrun in file system processing.) After restoring the earlier build, pkg-config.exe runs again. However, it continues to reveal a problem with handling spaces in directory names, because running "pkg-config --cflags --libs mono-2" causes that first field in its output/response to drop the initial "C:/Program " of the complete directory name. (The following is the literal invocation and return, copied from the command prompt window.) D:\Projects>pkg-config --cflags --libs mono-2 Files (x86)/Mono/include/mono-2.0 -mms-bitfields -mwindows -IC:/Program Files (x86)/Mono/lib -mms-bitfields -mwindows -LC:/Program -lmono-2.0 -lws2_32 -lpsapi -lole32 -lwinmm -loleaut32 -ladvapi32 -lversion -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Newbie-Error-in-Windows-10-compiling-c-with-GTK-tp4668066p4668171.html Sent from the Mono - Gtk# mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Gtk-sharp-list maillist - Gtk-sharp-list@lists.dot.net http://lists.dot.net/mailman/listinfo/gtk-sharp-list
