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 <http://www.gimp.org/%7Etml/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.

I could view it on my Windows XP box. Great idea doing a "movie" - well done. The soundtrack was not working on my machine though :)

Again, Thanks.

        Thanks for the reply, but the problem is more complex than
        this. 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
        <http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/GladeGuide>
            ( written by Chris Lale, on how to use Glade with Win32)

    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/%7Ejburd/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.

    Regards,
    Yesudeep.
