[Monotone-devel] nvm.stripped on Win32 MinGW; pkg-config

[Stephen Leake]

Since most of the required libraries support pkg-config, it would make
sense to use pkg-config with MinGW.

However, there is a classic catch-22: 

pkg-config requires glib

glib requies pkg-config

!!!

So I need a MinGW-compatible binary of one of the above to get
started.

The hosting website for pkg-config
(http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases) has no binaries.

The hosting website for glib (http://www.gtk.org) has Win32 dlls, but
not the .a files needed by MinGW gcc.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

I guess I should ask on the Mingw mailing list.
