[libxml++] MinGW - pkg-config problem

[Grosman <kor...@gm...>]

Hi There,

I have always used libxml2 2.6.0 and libxml++ 1.0.0 with my visual studio.
libxml* worked really great ! :)

Currently i am trying to move from Visual Studio -> G++ on MinGW.
so -

libxml2 2.6.0 compilation is behind me.

libxml++ is a problem:

it looks like no matter what i do, i still get the following message when i
try to configure libxml++-1.0.0 -

 checking for pkg-config... /mingw/bin/pkg-config
  No package 'libxml-2.0' foundnment variablening `libxml-2.0.pc'ound in the
pkg-config search path.
 configure: error: Library requirements (libxml-2.0 >= 2.5.8) not met;
consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if  your
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

i tried things like -
1. CXXFLAGS="-I /mingw/include"
2. configure --libdir=/mingw/lib --includedir=/mingw/include
...

nothing helps, i still get the same error.

when i type : /mingw/bin/pkg-config.exe --list-all
i get nothing. Why does pkg-config doesn't know about my libxml2 compilation
and installation?

here is the list of /mingw/lib:

$ ls -la
