Ok, I'm just getting back around to this -- Thanks for the suggestions; it now builds pkg-config from scratch on 32 bit, but I am having a beast of a time on 64 bit. I think I will delete and reinstall everything again to be sure it is complete, but I thought I had done that. However my build on 64 bit windows7 fails because the configure command isn't installed. I built it with the same files and options as I did on 32 bit, and there is enough installed to build 2/3 of the software I am compiling, but configure just isn't there. So is anything different about 64 bit builds that I should know about? What do I download to get configure.exe? I was hoping for clean builds and well-defined interfaces. Oh well. Saturday is a long day -- but then so is all the fun I could be having...:-/ TIA for any further info. --le |

You don't. configure is a shell script, and each individual source package should provide its own individual and specific version. If it isn't there, then presumably the package in question doesn't need it. You either need to read the build instructions, or ask the providers of the package; in the case of pkg-config, we are not they. -- Regards, Keith. |

It is a text file (bash script) called configure. It *must* be in the directory containing the pkg-config source. > So is anything different about 64 bit builds that I should know about? The process is exactly the same on 64-bit Vista as it is on 32-bit XP. By the way, you *still* have not said whether the 32-bit pkg-config works or not. You can save yourself a lot of hassle if it works, as I expect it to. Regards, Alias John Brown. |
