I develop in WinXP, for my SD I use Code::Blocks 
[http://www.codeblocks.org/] as my GDI and MinGW.
First I created a directory for all the UNIX-Windows programs were to 
reside, I called it XWin, a long time ago it was called XWin32.
Second I installed MinGW and then MSYS, be careful when MSYS ask you for 
the path MinGW was installed in.
Then I installed Code::Blocks, but not the one that already includes MinGW
After that is GTKmm and you are all set.

Why not Cygwin? in my case is because I don't want to bother with the 
installation of the Cygwin dlls, that's it.

I hope this helped you
