[Dev-C++] pkg-config

[/KY <cru...@in...>]

I've got Dev-C++ 4.9.6.8 (4.9.6.0 with included gcc 2.95.3-6 + devcppexe=20
2.1042) and I'm trying to use the GTK+ DevPak.
However, when I pass to compiler options:

`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`

i get

gcc.exe -c GTK-test.c -o GTK-test.o -I"C:/PRG/DEV-CPP/include"  `pkg-config=
=20
--cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` -pg -s
GCC.EXE: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations

while if I run gcc from the shell (from my project folder), i get

 >gcc gtk-test.c -o gtk-test.exe 'pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0'
GCC.EXE: 'pkg-config: No such file or directory
GCC.EXE: gtk+-2.0': No such file or directory
gtk-test.c:1: gtk.h: No such file or directory

however, If I run pkg-config (from any dir) I obtain what's expected:

 >pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0
  -IC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/include/gtk-2.0 -IC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/lib/gtk-2.0/include=20
-IC:/PRG/
DEV-CPP/include/atk-1.0 -IC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/include/pango-1.0=20
-IC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/incl
ude/glib-2.0 -IC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/lib/glib-2.0/include   -LC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/lib=20
-lgtk-
win32-2.0 -lgdk-win32-2.0 -limm32 -lshell32 -lole32 -luuid -latk-1.0=20

=20
-lgli
b-2.0 -lintl -liconv

And in fact, in PATH I have c:\prg\dev-cpp\bin.

Where's the problem?

The problem is i think that ms dos(and windows thou) do not accept
unix (or bash or whaterver)  construction:

command1 `command2`
which puts output of command2 as command line options for command1.

the solution can be just to paste output from pkg-config to
Project/ProjectOptions/General

and put in compiler options part concerning includes
and in linker options part concerning libs
then make a template from that (I don't know why there is no template
in GTK DevPack i consider it a bug especially pkg-config does not work
like it should and the second bug is GTK runtime wants to install
itself to dev-c++ directory and it should be dev-cpp now)
BTW: Is this the right place to send bugs ? if not where to send them
to get at least short reply like "ok we get it . we will remember
about it" ?

i changed output form pkg-config a bit not to use paths like
"c:\something\something\dev-cpp\" i used <INCLUDE> but i have no idea
how to solve this i a proper way:

compiler options:
-I<INCLUDE>/gtk-2.0 -I<INCLUDE>/../lib/gtk-2.0/include -I<INCLUDE>/atk-1.0 -I<INCLUDE>/pango-1.0 -I<INCLUDE>/glib-2.0 -I<INCLUDE>/../lib/glib-2.0/include
linker options:
-lgtk-win32-2.0 -lgdk-win32-2.0 -limm32 -lshell32 -lole32 -luuid -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangowin32-1.0 -lgdi32 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -lwsock32
