You can either use mingw combined with cygwin or msys. If you use 
mingw/cygwin, make sure that the directory that contains the mingw 
executables is first in your PATH (check with g++ -v).

1. add the directories with the gtkmm, gtk+ DLLs and the gtk+ executables 
(most important : pkg-config) to your path, if you have not selected the 
corresponding option in he installer.

2. set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to point to various 
lib/pkgconfig directories (with .pc files) for both gtkmm and gtk+ (same 
thing as on linux but semicolon separated).

3. Make sure everything is properly installed by typing 'pkg-config 
--modversion --cflags --libs gtkmm-2.0'. You should get something like

2.2.1
-IC:/Users/Gustin/target/libsigc/lib/sigc++-1.2/include 
-IC:/Users/Gustin/target
/libsigc/include/sigc++-1.2 
-IC:/Users/Gustin/target/gtkmm/include/gtkmm-2.0 -IC
:/Users/Gustin/target/gtkmm/lib/gtkmm-2.0/include 
-IC:/Users/Gustin/local/gtk-2.

-lgdkmm-2

-lgdk-win32

-lgobject-2
.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv

4. compile your program with

g++ `pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.0` my_programs.cc -o my_program 
`pkg-config --libs gtkmm-2.0`

Alternatively, you can adapt the above compiler and linker flags to your 
directory structure...

Good luck
