Hi,
I try to build LuaTeX on windows / mingw/msys, but I fail with pkg-config:
checking dynamic linker characteristics... Win32 ld.exe checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate checking whether gcc and cc understand -c and -o together... yes checking for inline... inline checking for i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config... no checking for pkg-config... no configure: error: pkg-config >= required but not found (http://pkgconfig.freede sktop.org/) make[1]: *** [cairo-build/Makefile] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/z/luatexw/LuaTeX/build/libs/cairo' make: *** [../../libs/cairo/cairo/cairo.h] Error 2 C:\msysgit\mingw\bin\strip.exe: 'build/texk/web2c/luatex.exe': No such file ls: build/texk/web2c/luatex.exe: No such file or directory
Can anyone help me? Do all versions of LuaTeX require pkg-config or cairo? I remember that I was able to use mingw/msys to compile LuaTeX, but that was quite some time ago. I wonder why it breaks now.
Create a i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config script with something like: #!/bin/sh PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config $* Assuming you already have pkg-config installed (and also check the mingw paths to match yours). I got this from a MingW for Linux tutorial somewhere, but I'm lazy to look it up again now. Regards, Khaled
