Question with compiling gtkmm for Windows

["Mark Tilford" <ralphmerridew gmail com>]

I'm working on a project that uses gtkmm; the person who's handling
the Windows port had the following trouble compiling the library:
(Site with the binary release was down and he couldn't find a mirror.)

(libsigc++, msys, mingw, perl installed.  /local/lib contents were
copied to /mingw/lib to get past the glibmm ./configure)

compiling glibmm has following error:
