Since I apparently didn't make myself clear the last two times, let me say it again. If libfoo is a shared library, and libbar is another shared library that depends on libfoo (and on Cygwin is, by definition, already linked against it), it does NOT matter if you do this: gcc -o baz.exe baz.o -lbar -lfoo or this: gcc -o baz.exe baz.o -lfoo -lbar Now if we link with -static, then of course it needs to be before -lfoo, just like baz.o which depends on libbar needs to be before -lbar. But that's not the case here; all the GNOME libraries are shared, and pkg-config's order is ultimately correct. Bottom line: this linking order discussion is a red herring. My suspicion is that there is a mixing of the versions provided by the distro and Ports.
