[Mingw-users] Problem pkg-config/gphoto

[Uwe R. <u.r...@tu...>]

Hi!

I would like to give the library intended for Unix libgphoto a try 
with mingw/msys.
When running configure, it asks for pkg-config.
I downloaded pkg-config Version 023 but I am unable to make it.
configure complains about missing
ac_nonexistent.h
dlfcn.h
alloca.h
sys/wait.h

I am not expert on this but I understand that dlfcn has something to 
do with posix.
So I tried to run configure under msys with LIBS=-lposix but then I 
receive the error message
C compiler cannot create executables.

I am using mingw 4.4.0 with the updated packages for both mingw and msys.
msysDTK etc. has been added and compiling e.g. project mathGL or FLTK 
went fine.

Does anybody know how to solve this and has anybody tried to compile 
gphoto for win32?

Thanks!
Uwe
