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 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. Again, Thanks.

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 ( written by Chris Lale, on how to use Glade with Win32) <snip> 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/~jburd/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.
