The Win32 binaries for the GTK+ stack Don't worry, I won't get upset.

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I did a little experiment with the .pc files and with those two files in C:\GTK\etc\gtk-2.0. I found that GTK still worked, Glade worked and so did pkg-config So, I guess there aren't any bugs with the files discussed. It does seem to me that there really is a need for a README file. Perhaps as a minimum, the README should have 1. upzip bundle to desired location (something like c:\GTK) 2. PATH and environment variable stuff 3. optional create file C:\GTK\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc gtk-theme-name = "MS-Windows" 4. Test. maybe a simple app with compile instructions?
