Re: [gtkmm] compile problem with libstdc++.la

[Alexander Yukhimets <yalex alexy org>]

First of all, I would advise you to use gtkmm-2.2 binaries from
http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/ 
along with gtk+-2.2 from either http://www.dropline.net/gtk/ (in case
you use an installer) or from http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/ 
(otherwise). 

And regarding compilation problem - just remove (or rename) .la files
from mingw distribution, including libstdc++.la - for some reason
they seem to confuse libtool.
