Well, i give up trying to using these with gtkmm. These worked fine with 
my gtk+ programs, but i really want to use gtkmm.

I downloaded both sigc++/gtkmm (sigc++ from cvs, gtkmm from the 
sourceforce page), and compiled sigc++ using a combination of 
mingw and cygnus(mingw first in the PATH). It taked a long time but it got 
compiled. I tried compiling gtkmm(1.3.18), and i had to tune the configure 
script (when checking if make set the MAKE env.var the script failed with 
an unmatched '"'). Im going to try it again later today.

BTW, the configure in gtkmm-1.3.18 needs gtk+-2.0.5, but in 
www.gimp.org/win32/ the lastest is gtk+-2.0.3(and glib, and pango and 
...). Im going to compile the lastest gtk2.

Thanks for your help.
