Creating plugins Windows 10

[Tom Swift]

Alrighty, looks like gimpui-2.0.pc contains:

Code:

prefix=@prefix@
exec_prefix=@exec_prefix@
libdir=@libdir@
includedir=@includedir@

Name: GIMP UI
Description: GIMP User Interface Library
Version: @GIMP_REAL_VERSION@
Requires: gimp-@GIMP_PKGCONFIG_VERSION@ >= @GIMP_APP_VERSION@ gtk+-3.0 >= @GTK_REQUIRED_VERSION@
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgimpui-@GIMP_API_VERSION@ -lgimpwidgets-@GIMP_API_VERSION@ -lgimpmodule-@GIMP_API_VERSION@
Cflags: -I${includedir}/gimp-@GIMP_API_VERSION@

Now it's telling me this:

Code:

Package gimp-@GIMP_PKGCONFIG_VERSION@ was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gimp-@GIMP_PKGCONFIG_VERSION@.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'gimp-@GIMP_PKGCONFIG_VERSION@', required by 'GIMP UI', not found
No output from 'pkg-config --cflags gimpui-2.0'

Is this some kind of cruel joke?  sigh... I'll keep going.
