1. Make sure you have libgtkmm-2.0.dll.a (with the atkmm, glibmm, gdkmm, 
... import libraries) in F:\Dev-Cpp\Lib\ or add the appropriate directory 
to the linker search path.
2. Try to rename it to libgtkmm-2.0.a. Some (very old !!!) versions of the 
mingw-gcc linker could not deal with the dll.a extension. That would be 
surprizing with Dev-C++ 4 though !
3. Give me more information on the binary gtkmm distribution you use. Is it 
the windows installer or the individual files ?
