Ok, i will try to build a debian package with the patch applied and see
if it will work.

That said, why do we really need to patch pkg-config ? We could simply
call it either with the

  --define-variable=VARIABLENAME=VARIABLEVALUE
  
argument to modify the prefix, or using the PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable
to point at the .pc files location ? Yep it seems to work :

$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/luther/download/gtkwin32/lib/pkgconfig/
pkg-config --define-variable=prefix=/home/luther/download/gtkwin32
--cflags gtk+-2.0
-I/home/luther/download/gtkwin32/include/gtk-2.0
-I/home/luther/download/gtkwin32/lib/gtk-2.0/include
-I/home/luther/download/gtkwin32/include/atk-1.0
-I/home/luther/download/gtkwin32/include/pango-1.0
-I/home/luther/download/gtkwin32/include/glib-2.0
-I/home/luther/download/gtkwin32/lib/glib-2.0/include  
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/luther/download/gtkwin32/lib/pkgconfig/
pkg-config --define-variable=prefix=/home/luther/download/gtkwin32
--libs gtk+-2.0
-L/home/luther/download/gtkwin32/lib -lgtk-win32-2.0 -lgdk-win32-2.0
-latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangowin32-1.0 -lgdi32 -lpango-1.0
-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv

Ok, will try that.

Mmm, I need libintl and libiconv, ...

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/luther/download/gtkwin32/lib/pkgconfig
$ i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields -o lib/hello-gtk `pkg-config --define-variable=prefix=/home/luther/download/gtkwin32 --cflags gtk+-2.0` hello-gtk.c `pkg-config --define-variable=prefix=/home/luther/download/gtkwin32 --libs gtk+-2.0`

Yes, it builds fine, let's try launching it ...

Well, it works, there is garbage in the button though, but maybe this is
just wine, will try launching it under windows.

Mmm, i need to bundle the .dll with the executable, right ?

Yes. And if you can cross compile it under linux, cross-development
debian packages can then be created, and you would just need to :

apt-get install mingw32 libgtk2.0-cross-dev

and compile from there :)))

Yes, please.

Which lower libraries ? libicon and libintl ?
