Hi all,

does anyone know the instructions for building vm (pharo.cog.spur) on Windows (10) from scratch?

I followed the appveyor of both https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm and https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm , 

for Pharo I also needed cygwin packages wget, and unzip
for both I also needed cygwin packages libintl8, and mingw64-i686-glib2.0

however now I am stuck on building cairo; I've tried installing both libcairo-devel and libcairo2, but to no effect.

it fails on the following:

configure: error: pkg-config >=  required but not found (http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/)
make: *** [../third-party/Makefile.cairo:32: /cygdrive/d/prog/windows-pharo-vm/opensmalltalk-vm/.thirdparty-cache/windows/i386/bin/libcairo-2.dll] Error 1

I am compiling it with ./mvm -f -- CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc

Thanks!
Peter
