If I install cygwin, mingw, gtk+ and gtkmm according to the instructions on the url discussed earlier aclocal does not work complaining about "no Autoconf/General.pm in @INC". If try the msys approach pkg-config does not seem to work. Executing "pkg-config gtkmm-2.0 --modversion" in msys geives me the following error message "Must specify package on command line"... I thought I just did that.

Make sure that you don't install the library ( gtk and gtkmm ) in the
same directory where you install msys and mingw32 stuff so that the
stuff in bin directory from gtk and gtkmm library not mixing with stuff
in bin directory from msys and mingw32.
