[pkg-config] Glib not found

[Vincenzo Urso Miano]

@ Alan - Thank you for the detailed post. It was really helpful.

It turns out that I don't have glib-2.0.pc at all. I did not find
anywhere else that I needed that. That could be the problem. Could you
tell me how do I get that?

Nevertheless I tried the following:
-I renamed the example x01f.f  to  a.f
-Copied in C:\GTK\Glib\bin. I know it looks bad but I wanted to make it simple.
then i typed the following in cdm
----------------------------
cd C:\GTK\Glib\bin
set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:\plplot\lib\pkgconfig
win-bash
bash$ gcc -o test.exe a.f `pkg-config --libs --cflags plplotd-f77`
----------------------------

Result:

----------------------------
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc2gvIO6.o:a.f:(.text+0xe):
undefined reference to `plparseopts_'
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc2gvIO6.o:a.f:(.text+0x2d):

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
-----------------------

Pkg-config seems to find glib, now (obviously!!). I don't know what's
missing. Could you help me?


I also typed the following on cmd
-----------------------
cd C:\GTK\Glib\bin
set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:\plplot\lib\pkgconfig
win-bash
pkg-config --libs --cflags plplotd-f77
-----------------------

The result looks healthy, now:
-----------------------
-IC:/plplot/include/plplot  -LC:/plplot/lib -lplplotf77d -lplplotf77cd
-lplplotd  -lcsirocsa -lqsastime
-----------------------

Thanks in advance
Vince
