If you're building glib for Windows for the first time but don't have pkg-config, there are a few ways to get pkg-config. Because pkg-config depends on glib, there is an inter-dependency problem between pkg-config and glib. One way to address this problem is to get Cygwin-built pkg-config. I recommend getting a Cygwin build, pkg-config-0.23b-1.tar.bz2 and cygwin-1.5.25-15.tar.bz2. Then, extract pkg-config.exe and cygwin1.dll like this:
tar xjOf pkg-config-0.23b-1.tar.bz2 usr/bin/pkg-config.exe > /mingw/bin/pkg-config.exe
tar xjOf cygwin-1.5.25-15.tar.bz2 usr/bin/cygwin1.dll > /mingw/bin/cygwin1.dll
If pkg-config can't find a library during configure, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="C:\MinGW\lib\pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONGIG_PATH
Check: pkg-config --help
pkg-config --libs --cflags glib-2.0
