This is not directly related but I once spent some time trying to satisfy pkg-config dependencies on Windows. This is what I ended up with: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/blob/8bb0d2322d81bb9e73553f5... In particular you can install pkg-config with \`choco install pgkconfiglite\` using chocolatey package manager.

I'm attempting to use GTK+3 to create a Desktop, but I am having a problem installing all of the dependencies. I keep getting the following error: GUI cabal: version >=0.9.0 of pkg-config is required
I understand this error message as: You need to install pkg-config first. pkg-config is the tool that manages path and versions of installed C libraries and Cabal uses it to query existence and compiler flags of installed C libraries.
I am using Cygwin on a Windows 10 operating system. What is needed to fix this? Is this the best way to do a desktop GUI in Haskell?
On Windows I used MSYS2 and this helped a lot to install components like pkg-config and other C libraries plus their interfaces.\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Haskell-Cafe mailing list To (un)subscribe, modify options or view archives go to: http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe Only members subscribed via the mailman list are allowed to post.
