Can't Build the GIMP

Hi folks,

It's my first time trying to build the GIMP on my Win 2K box under MinGW, and right away I'm running into problems that I don't know how to solve.  Please forgive my newbie questions.  I don't have a lot of knowledge regarding gnu build tools and related stuff...

From within my gimp-1.2.4 directory, I run ./configure .  That runs for a while and spits out a bunch of messages to my console window that at least generally seem reasonable for my setup.  But then it stops with the following messages at the bottom:

found xgettext program is not GNU xgettext; ignore it
./configure: ./po/POTFILES.in: No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `intl': File exists
checking for gtk+-1.3-win32-production >= 1.3.0... 'gnome-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'gnome-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Package gtk+-1.3-win32-production was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-1.3-win32-production.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-1.3-win32-production' found

configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-1.3-win32-production >= 1.3.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

I attempted to solve this and a previous problem that I encountered by setting the following environment variables prior to running ./configure :

PKG_CONFIG=/d/source/pkgconfig-0.13/bin/pkg-config.exe
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/d/source/gtk+-dev-1.3.0-20020912/lib/pkgconfig:/d/source/glib-dev-2.0.6-20020802/lib/pkgconfig:/d/source/gettext-dev-0.10.40-20020904/lib/pkgconfig

However, there is still a problem as you can see.  In case it matters, there is a file named gtk+-1.3-win32-production.pc on my machine in the following directory:

D:\source\gtk+-dev-1.3.0-20020912\lib\pkgconfig

Of course this is translated by the mSys shell to /d/source/gtk+-dev-1.3.0-20020912/lib/pkgconfig, hence my use of that variation in PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

Can anyone tell me what the problem is here???

Thanks!
