Re: [gtkmm] Compiling my first gtkmm program - HELP!!

Yes, Nick answered your question.
I realize that it is not imperative to have the 'virtual' key word in 
this case, but it has become a force of habit in my case. However, I 
would appreciate if you compile my simple class using the Makefile I wrote.
AFAIK, there should not be any problem with my code; I mean its trivial 
code!
Please folks, give it a shut. This problem has delay the coding process 
long enough.

TIA.
