GTK+ Forums

if you want an installer, the best one I know of is the gladewin32 one:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gladewin32
if you want binaries, go here, select the version of gtk you want, and download the bundle package:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/gtk+/

if the installer doesn't add itself the the %PATH%, or if you use the binary version, you can find my tutorial for putting
GTK into the windows %PATH% here:

Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

as I asked in one of your reference links, does your PKG_CONFIG_PATH directory have gtk+-2.0.pc?
also, which package did you download?

GTK_BASEPATH->C:\GTK

INCLUDE->C:\GTK\INCLUDE;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\GTK-2.0;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\GLIB-2.0;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\PANGO-1.0;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\CAIRO;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\ATK-1.0;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\GTKGLEXT-1.0;C:\GTK\LIB\GTK-2.0\INCLUDE;C:\GTK\LIB\GLIB-2.0\INCLUDE;C:\GTK\LIB\GTKGLEXT-1.0\INCLUDE;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\LIBGLADE-2.0;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\LIBXML2

LIB->C:\GTK\LIB

Path->%GTK_BASEPATH%\bin;C:\gcc\bin

PKG_CONFIG_PATH->C:\GTK\lib\pkgconfig\gtk+-2.0.pc

PKG_CONFIG_PATH should be C:\GTK\lib\pkgconfig (or %GTK_BASEPATH%\lib\pkgconfig)
It's supposed to be the path where *.pc files can be found, so if gtk+-2.0.pc (and others) are there, then that's what you want it set to

are you using the windows command prompt or cygwin?
if you're using cygwin, type this:
[code=]echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH[/code]
if you're using cmd, type this:
[code=]echo %PKG_CONFIG_PATH%[/code]
they should report C:\GTK\lib\pkgconfig (or /cygdrive/c/GTK/lib/pkgconfig if you're using cygwin)
if they don't, try restarting the shell. if it still doesn't work after restarting the shell, try this:
cygwin:
[code=]export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/cygdrive/c/GTK/lib/pkgconfig[/code]
cmd:
[code=]set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:\GTK\lib\pkgconfig[/code]

also, saying "GTK" as the package doesn't really tell me much, can you provide the URL of what you downloaded?

$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/cygdrive/c/GTK/lib/pkgconfig:C:\GTK\lib\pkgconfig

if you start a windows shell (Start/Run/cmd.exe), what does this command output?
[code=]pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0[/code]
if it's the same as with cygwin, can you post the output of this command from cygwin:
[code=]ls /cygdrive/c/GTK/lib/pkgconfig[/code]

If that is from the windows command prompt, then you must have typed cmd while in cygwin which isn't what I wanted.
I'm trying to separate cygwin from the problem, because I've had $PATH related problems with it before.
So if you can try
[code=]pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0[/code]
in an actual windows command prompt (Start/Run "cmd.exe") and post what it says, I'd appreciate it.

As for the pixman-1 problem, none of my GTK installations on windows have a pixman-1.pc file and they work fine, so I don't know what the problem is there

Here's a python link
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.2/
It's an installer, so you shouldn't need to do anything with environment variables

C:\Users\MIAMI>pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0
