[pkg-config] Glib not found

[Vincenzo Urso Miano]

Hello,

I changed my installation directory to c:\plplot.
The content of plplotd-f77.pc is the following:
------------------------------------------
libdir=C:/plplot/lib
includedir=C:/plplot/include/plplot
drvdir=C:/plplot/lib/plplot5.9.5/driversd

Name: PLplot F77
Description: Scientific plotting library (F77 bindings, double precision)
Requires: plplotd
Version: 5.9.5
Libs: -L${libdir} -lplplotf77d -lplplotf77cd
Cflags: -I${includedir}
------------------------------------------

The first three directory are correct. I can't judge about the following things.

Executing, in either win-bash or cmd:
set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:/GTK/Glib/bin
pkg-config --libs --cflags plplotd-f77
gives me the libglib-2.0-0.dll not found error.

To clarify the content of c:\gtk\glib\bin is the following:
gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe
gspawn-win32-helper.exe
libgio-2.0-0.dll
libglib-2.0-0.dll
libgmodule-2.0-0.dll
libgobject-2.0-0.dll
libgthread-2.0-0.dll

Can you please confirm I am using the correct stuff? Do I need a
lib\pkgconfig folder in c:\gtk\glib?

Once we are sure that i have the right library it seems it's down to
adding glib to pkg config search path.
How do I set it? Is there a way of verifying it? where should I set
it: win-bash or cmd?
