[Mingw-cross-env-list] Help building libevince?

[Richard Shann]

We have GNU/Denemo built with mxe and have been working through several
problems. We have been stuck now on libevince for a while. We have it
building as a static library, but it also generates a .a and .la file in
its backends directory for displaying pdf files:

usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/evince/3/backends/libpdfdocument.a

However, at run time it tries to find libpdfdocument.dll in that
directory and as there is none, it says it cannot load pdf files. (What
it is doing is invoking GObject's module system for loading plugins).

I was wondering if anyone could comment on the evince.mk that we are
using:

There are two patches for evince in case anyone would like to actually
try the build:
