[gtkmm] Link problem using gtkmm with MSVC 7.1

["Jonny Yu" <jonnyyu online sh cn>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build the example code of gtkmm with MSVC 7.1, 
Although I got several warnings ,such as 

e:\Dev-C++\gtkmm\include\gtkmm-2.0\gtkmm\entry.h(402): warning C4250:
'Gtk::Entry' : inherits 'Gtk::Object::Gtk::Object::set_manage' via
dominance

e:\Dev-C++\gtkmm\include\gtkmm-2.0\glibmm\containers.h(321): warning
C4181: qualifier applied to reference type; ignored

the sample did compiled through, the problem is I don't have the lib
file (in .lib format). I downloaded the win32 port of
http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/
however the lib format is in .dll.a format, which could not be
recognized by VC linker.

Where can I find the .lib format gtkmm lib file? 
If not, can I build the .lib file from source or convert the .dll.a to
.lib format?

Any suggestions are grealy appreciated!
