No, msvc 6.0 is not C++ compliant enough. You need at least version 7.1 
of the compiler.

Yes, this is a bug in atk. Some symbols were not dll exported. Please 
download an updated distribution from gladewin32 and try again.

No need to update gtkmm, you have the latest version.

One simple trick: Add a a blank.cpp file to your msvc project and all 
the source files (even the .cc ones) will be recognized as C++. 
Alternatively, look in the libsigc++ source tarball. If I remember 
correctly, there is a registry file that also do the trick.
