Hi Jeff,
I released yesterday GStreamer WinBuild 0.10.5, and I did in time to
address the minor issues related with the *pc files path.
When linking to a library using -lgstreamer-0.10, for example, gcc
will try first, by default, to link against a shared library. On
windows it will try, in this case, to link against
libgstreamer-0.10.dll, and if thi file is not found, it will try to
linking statically against libgstreamer-0.10.a. Those files (*.a) are
also included in the developers package (c:\gstreamer\lib), but you
won't need them if c:\gstreamer\bin is in your system PATH and then
gcc is able to link against libgstreamer-0.10.dll.

Cheers
Andoni
