First mention the file to compile, and then all the libraries to link
against, instead of the other way around:

g++ -mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields base.cc -o b [the other stuff comes here]

If you are using msys, you can use pkg-config to make this easier:

g++ base.cc -o b `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-2.4`

This won't work in the normal Windows command line (cmd.exe) though.
