This is the output for me:

Armin HALLWA ~/test
$ ./test.exe 
Caught FileError

which is what I'd expect.

What compiler version are you compiling your code with? Maybe there are
ABI incompatibilities between different MinGW compilers. And, just to be
sure, what gtkmm version are you using?

I'm using "gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)" which I also used
for building the MinGW binaries in the 2.14 installer.
