Should now be fixed - your patch was correct, I misread an earlier patch to
config.nmake.

I will check them, to be complete.

Hmm, can you please explain the problems you are encountering - I'd like to
fix them. In case it involves rewriting the results from pkg-config, can you
please include the .pc file?

I'll look into that.

I have no idea what this is about but native nmake seems to do something here
as well. msbuild seems to generate something here.

dito.

This should be done in the setup process.

One of the remaining points is to make the setup process independent of
nmake but we need a concept here first that should probably then be applied
to the native nmake too.

I use pkg-config from cygwin, so it might be easiest to update the installation
manual.

They build on my system (cmake with nmake and msbuild).

Have to check what you are talking about :-)
