Comment(by jasmine.aura):

 Had the same issue on WinXP when trying to compile
 [https://github.com/johnbellone/purple-bitly/blob/master/INSTALL bitly]
 plugin, after numerous issues to get everything included, which was
 finally:

 {{{
 make -f Makefile.mingw bitly.dll LDFLAGS+='curl-config --libs'
 INCLUDE_PATHS+='-I../../../win32-dev/curl-7.21.4-devel-mingw32/include/
 -I../ -I../../../win32-dev/gtk_2_0-2.14/include/glib-2.0/
 -I../../../win32-dev/gtk_2_0-2.14/lib/glib-2.0/include/
 -I../../libpurple/win32/'
 }}}


 Then tried what what akesterson suggested - in previous post, and was
 finally able to progress.

 _____

 If I may also suggest, a minor note/addition to the
 [http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin BuildingWinPidgin]
 wiki-page, under Perl 5.10:

 note: if you've installed mingw-developer-toolkit , keep in mind that it
 installs msys-perl-bin - /bin/perl.exe - (5.6) which takes precedence over
 the system-wide ActivePerl 5.10 , so you will either need to:
 1. Remove the mingw-developer-toolkit supplied (older) perl:
 {{{
 mingw-get remove msys-perl-bin
 }}}
 (make sure you have mingw-get-0.2-mingw32-alpha-3 or later as previous
 version had issue with unlink'ing/deleting the files)

 _or_

 2. Set your ActivePerl 5.10 path before the former so that it takes
 precedence:
 {{{
 export PATH=/c/Perl/bin:$PATH
 }}}


 thanks
