Jamiil,

gtkmm-config is old.  Really old.

You'll want to use pkg-config which is fairly similar

CFLAGS=-Wall -g -ansi `pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4`
LIBS=`pkg-config --libs gtkmm-2.4`

Alternatively I think you can do:

CFLAGS=-Wall -g -ansi $(pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4)

To have make substitute the command instead of passing the backtick
expression to the shell.

And on a side note I'll evangelize SCons which I prefer over make.

HTH,
Paul Davis
