I working with cygwin installed from www.cygwin.com and glade installed

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
*) echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH gives
/cygdrive/f/GTK/lib/pkgconfig
[snip]
Try "pkg-config --debug --cflags gtk+-2.0"
BTW I'm using version 0.20 of pkg-config and it works fine.
I can not belive it!!! I had almost the same problem, example:
pkg-config --modversion gdk-2.0
delivered a message that pkg-config is unable to find gdk-2.0.pc in the search
path PKG_CONFIG_PATH ... although the right path was included there!
After examing the output of "pkg-config --debug --cflags gtk+-2.0" I wondered
that it searches for gtk+-2.0.pc on an alternative path starting with "c:\...",
so I reviewed my definidion of PKG_CONFIG_PATH and defined everywhere
fully-qualified paths, each one starting with drive letter
"c:\mydirs\..\pkgconfig". For the first this also did not funtion, so I
seperated the paths not with ':' but with semicolons ';' and enclosed the whole
string for PKG_CONFIG_PATH in "..." !!! This functioned finally, and pkg-config
works now! So to everyone trying to investigate into pkg-config and cygwin ...
forget this shit and do your work seriously in a real unix/linux environment!
cheers!
cygwin's pkg-config executable does not understand windows paths -- nor
is it intended to do so. A native pkg-config executable will not
understand cygwin paths -- nor is IT intended to do so, either.
a native-built package (like, gtk+-2.0 from
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/) will include .pc files that have
windows paths in them.
a cygwin-built package (like the X11 gtk2 package installed by cygwin
setup) will include .pc files that have cygwin paths in them
See the problem yet?
*do not mix native packages and cygwin packages, nor native
pkg-config.exe and cygwin pkg-config.exe, nor native .pc files and
cygwin .pc files*
