--msvc-syntax can be used to convert UNIX style library output to --msvc-syntax can be used to convert UNIX style library output to
arguments that work with MSVC. This means -Lfoo will be converted to arguments that work with MSVC. This means -Lfoo will be converted to
/libpath:foo, and -lfoo will be converted to foo.lib. /libpath:foo, and -lfoo will be converted to foo.lib.
Building pkg-config is now supported on Visual Studio/MSVC as well. To
build it, you will need to have a glib installation. Note that MSVC
builds of glib does not have a build-time dependency on pkg-config,
unlike the normal autotools builds. The headers and libs either need to
be found in your default %INCLUDE% and %LIB% respectively, or they need
to be found in $(GLIB_PREFIX)\include and $(GLIB_PREFIX)\lib respectively;
please see Makefile.vc for adjusting $(GLIB_PREFIX) to suit your needs.
To build pkg-config with MSVC, run in a Visual Studio command prompt:
"nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=release" (release builds) -or-
"nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=debug" (debug builds)
The resulting pkg-config.exe will be found in [release|debug]\[win32|x64];
a 'clean' target is supported to clean up the build. MSVC 2008
through 2015 is supported; older versions may work as well but is not
tested. Note that building with the glib bundled with this source
distribution is not currently supported-the glib DLL and all of its
dependent DLLs are required at runtime.
