Re: Trying to build simple application on Windows

[Pascal Grodowski <pascal grodowski gmx de>]

helloworld: main.o helloworld.o
	g++ -o helloworld main.o helloworld.o

You must provide the libs if you create the executable from object files.

Try:
helloworld: main.o helloworld.o
	g++ -o helloworld main.o helloworld.o `pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags --libs`

instead of:
helloworld: main.o helloworld.o
	g++ -o helloworld main.o helloworld.o
