Most likely you have a problem with pkg-config.
Where is it installed? On Windows it automatically groks .pc files from 
<pkg-config.exe directory>/../lib/pkgconfig/
If pkg-config is not in /bin/, it will not find /lib/pkgconfig/ by 
itself, you'd have to add that directory to PKG_CONFIG_PATH when running 
configure
