You needn't extract them in the mingw directory, just extract them in any directory you like,
but your system's envirenment variable PATH must contain the directory where the packages' DLL files are.

For compiling a program with MinGW, you'd better install the pkg-config package and set the 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to those directories that contain .pc files (eg. gtkmm-2.0.pc), then you
can use `pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.0` and    `pkg-config --libs gtkmm-2.0` to generate the compile
and link flags, just as:
gcc -o foo foo.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-2.0`
