being built against glib-1.2 anymore).

@ -37,16 +37,4 @@ site. This works as long as the .pc file uses the variable name
"prefix" for its installation prefix. At least GLib, ATK, Pango and
GTK does this.
On Unix, pkg-config is built using its own copy of GLib 1.2.8. On
Windows, we use the normal GLib available for Windows (2.0.x). Yes,
this does introduce a kind of circular dependency. But, that can be
worked around. The circular dependency only appears if one uses the
configure mechanism to build GLib. GLib's configure script checks for
pkg-config. pkg-config depends on GLib. Thus, starting from scratch,
with no GLib and no pkg-config, using configure, there would indeed be
a Catch-22 situation. However, GLib can be built just fine using the
manually written makefiles for mingw or MSVC. And if somebody does
want to build GLib on Win32 using configure, she can first install a
prebuilt pkgconfig.
