This works perfectly, and I usually also add some simple unix-ish tools such that I can mimic a unix system at a "dos" prompt. To make all include and linking simple I usually have a makefile that contains these lines: INCLUDE = -I/C/GTK/include $(shell pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0) LIBS = $(shell pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0) ... or somthing similar depending on what I need. I would not recommend to put GTK and MinGW in the same directories! -Øystein
