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
