gtkmm 2.37.* is an unstable development version. gtkmm 3.38.2 is the
stable version of the 2.37/38 development cycle. No stable version of a
Linux distro should have an unstable version of gtkmm. You should
complain about this to the packagers of your Linux distro.

But, anyway, as Marcus Karlsson says, please look at an older version of
the example to see how to use an older version of the API.
