pkg-config not provided by win32-packager.pl

[Jonathan Martens <jonathan@…>]

It seems that win32-packager.pl does not prepare the build environment to provide pkg-config, which seems to be used or determining the Webkit module of Qt.

There is a version of pkf-config that works on Windows, but this only works in a cmd.exe shell and not in bash/sh.

This version can be found here: ​http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html (it needs some of the libraries mentioned there as well).

A second problem most likely seems to be that the Qt build on windows does not generated the required (.pc) files for pkg-config to determine version and packages.

pkg-config.sh to invoke pkg-config.exe (which only runs in windows cmd.exe)

[Jonathan Martens <jonathan@…>]

I have been able to get pkg-config running from the MSys bash shell using attached pkg-config.sh script, although I have not been able to force the use of this script over pkg-config.exe.

I used pkg-config.exe and required libgl library found here: ​http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/pkg-config-0.23-2.zip ​http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.18/glib_2.18.3-1_win32.zip

Now we only need Qt on windows to provide those files as it seems not to do so by default: ​http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-buildsystem/2007-February/003722.html
