Perfect. [So you should be able to compile glademm yourself without any 
trouble at all]

Did you try the one from http://home.wtal.de/petig/Gtk (it's not 100% up 
to date but should give you a starting point - if you need a more recent 
version simply tell me).

It should work with both, but I recommend using MSys or 
Cygwin&-mno-cygwin to get real windows applications [no unix path names 
etc.].

No, you don't have to.
Any version will do.

Glade does call glademm to generate gtkmm code.

PS: Please do not forget to mark the widgets you want to access as 
'protected' (visibility) otherwise you won't get a pointer to the instance.

PPS: If you need sample code http://midgard.berlios.de might give you 
more than you ever wanted (even for windows).

P3S: Since you are university located: Do you have any need for a 
minimal gtkmm application which manages index entries 
(Stichwortverzeichnis). I did one for another faculty because they had 
to integrate several external files into one book.
