Hello This mail is only as a record and nobody need to reply.
So this topic is to be ended here until pkg-config working on msys will be released.
I found that the web site 'GTK+ (not GIMP) for Windows Downloads' prepared the pkg-config and GLib 2.x. I got information somewhere else that these should be installed in the the mingw directry trees not but in the msys ones. After this, the pkg-config worked without the cygwin. This would be helpful for me since the octave-forge symbolic package now requires the pkg-config. GTK+ (not GIMP) for Windows Downloads URL: http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html My trial of building the Gniac-1.4.1 has not been successful yet. However my purpose was fulfilled by the gniac-1.3.7 so that I will not purchase it any further. I hope this information will be useful for the challangers who will challange building the Gniac-1.4.1 or later. Regards Tatsuro -------------------------------------- Easy + Joy + Powerful = Yahoo!
