GTKmm doesn't reimplement what is done in GTK+ but gives you a C++ interface
to the GTK+ libraries. So you need to ship the gtk+ dlls too.

You can find at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/heavymole/heavymole/heavymole-libraries.iss?rev=1.17&view=auto
an installer (written with the Inno Setup script) which installs a gtkmm
application and all needed dlls.
You can install and look at the files of the package
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/heavymole/HeavyMole-0.7.0-Libraries-Installer.exe
to see what are the files that are installed.

Note that it is not the best way to install the libraries, as the GTK+ and
GTKmm dlls are installed in the directory of your application and are
therefore not usable by other applications. I'd like to write a script that
checks if GTK+/GTKmm are already on your system and installs them exactly like
it was made with the Runtime Environment packages from
http://www.dropline.net/gtk/download.php and
http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/.

I think I'll need the scripts used to write these packages. Cedric Gustin
could you send me (or put on your web site) the script used to do your package?
