Let me repeat it again : you should not mix the native windows (msvcrt) and 
cygwin runtimes !!! http://web.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~s01397ms/cygwin/ provides 
DLLs for the cygwin platform only, while my gtkmm binaries (and the 
corresponding gtk+ DLLs available at http://www.gimp.org/win32/) are for 
the msvcrt runtime. Don't use the mingw compiler with the cygwin binaries.

Also, the mingw32 compiler is not aware of your cygwin mounting points 
(like /usr pointing to D:\Sagar\Cygwin\usr). This explains why the 
gtk/gtk.h header cannot be found even though /usr/include/gtk-2.0/include 
is in the search path.

So please try again but this time with gcc provided by the cygwin 
distribution (don't add the mingw directory to your path) and get rid of 
these --build=mingw32 CC=mingw32-gcc CXX=mingw32-g++ configure options. The 
cygwin platform will be detected automatically.

Mixing the native windows (msvcrt) and cygwin runtimes is a common mistake 
among developers. I usually recommend to use the cygwin shell with 
cygwin-gcc only, and to rely on msys for mingw32-gcc.
