By the way, once I typed by accident:

     i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config --cflags glib

to which the answer was:

     sh: glib-config: command not found
     sh: glib-config: command not found
     sh: glib-config: command not found

It this unexpected?
That's an interesting discovery. I didn't know about that
special behaviour. However, it seems that this has nothing
to do with mingw-cross-env or the Glib package. It semms to
be hard coded into the pkg-config tool:

     $ pkg-config --cflags glib

     sh: glib-config: command not found
     sh: glib-config: command not found
     sh: glib-config: command not found

But I'm not sure about the reason for that strange behaviour.



When I attempted to build librsvg on gtk 2.90.0, the configure script complained about not finding glib-config and gtk-config. I wonder whether this is related to this behavior of pkg-config and whether a development environment is supposed to have these tools. Perhaps something to keep in mind and look into when the time comes.
