I've installed pkg-config via the setup.exe installer. But my environment still claims it cannot find pkg-config.

so from the root directory:

$ find . -name 'pkg*'
./etc/setup/pkg-config.lst.gz
./i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/pkg-config.exe
./i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/pkgconfig
./i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/aclocal/pkg.m4
./i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/man/man1/pkg-config.1.gz
./i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/pkgconfig
./lib/pkgconfig
./local/lib/pkgconfig

I ctrl-c'd at that point.

when i "echo $path" I get:

$ echo $PATH
.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:<and then all my windows paths>

Does that mean my path needs to include:

/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin

or has something gone wrong with my environment? I did try reinstalling but the issue remains.

There are strange things afoot with the whole mingw thing, because when I look around in my root folder for mingw stuff I've got:

/mingw
/mingw/bin
/i686-pc-mingw32
/i686-pc-mingw32/bin
/i686-pc-mingw32/lib
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/etc
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/i686-pc-mingw32
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/i686-pc-mingw32/bin
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/i686-pc-mingw32/lib
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/libexec
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share
/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/var

I don't know what to make of all that - I dunno but it seems like takeoffgw keeps losing track of where it should be installing the mingw stuff.

Cheers

btw: thanks for the awesome project. it has great potential to ease the mingw pain.
