gtkmm on windows; "pkg-config gtkmm-4.0 --cflags --libs" get the paths but => fatal err-CodePudding

to manually compile I use at the moment the Windows Power shell. The pahts are right, I think:

pkg-config gtkmm-4.0 --cflags --libs

But when I try tho compile the example program, I get the next error:

 C:\Programacion\gtk\cmake_test> g   $(pkg-config gtkmm-4.0 --cflags --libs) base.cc -o simple
base.cc:1:10: fatal error: gtkmm.h: No such file or directory
    1 | #include <gtkmm.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

It's like g doesn't have access to paths.

What could I do to fix it?

Thanks in advance

CodePudding user response：

SOLVED: The powershell doesn't concatenate the commands in unix style, so g doesn't work together with $(pkg-config gtkmm-4.0 --cflags --libs)

It works through the msys2-mingw x64 shell, but the right command is.

g   base.cc -o base $(pkg-config gtkmm-4.0 --cflags --libs)

now should it works together with CMake, but that is another story...
