Compile of gtk243 on cygwin fails at configure

[Guy Stalnaker]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile obconf, the configuration tool for OpenBox  (I'm a 
user of BlackBox on Linux and BB4Win as a shell replacement on 
MSWindows, so have OpenBox as one of the default XWin managers with 
cygwin was a happy find).  Pre-reqs include gtk+ >=2.x.  I'm running 
cygwin 1.5 (the latest version) with the complete set of devel and 
compile/link/etc. files/apps.

Gtk+ has three prereqs: glib, pango, and atk.  I downloaded the src from 
the gtk web site.  Pango compiles and installs successfully.  atk 
compiles and installs successfully.  glib compiles and installs 
successfully.  I used --prefix=/usr for all of them.  gtk+ fails on the 
configure pass however with an error:

You know, of course, that atk is installed and there were no errors when
'make install' was run. The atk.pc file is in /usr/lib/pkgconfig and in
/lib/pkgconfig and it contains:

<quote>
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: Atk
Description: Accessibility Toolkit
Version: 1.6.0
Requires: gobject-2.0 gmodule-2.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -latk-1.0
Cflags: -I${includedir}/atk-1.0
</quote>

And /usr/lib shows:
<partial quote>
libatk-1.0.1
litatk-1.0.la
</partial quote>

/usr/include/atk-1.0/atk exists and has the requisite .h files in it.

Any ideas?  Seems odd that glib, pango, and atk all compile and install
without error but that gtk+, which finds glib and pango just fine, then
fails to find atk.  Has anyone successfully compiled gtk+ 2.4.3 on cygwin?

Regards,

Guy S.
