jhbuild builds cairomm 1.15.1 from  a tarball, but gtkmm at present
requires the latest cairomm from the git repository. See
https://www.cairographics.org/cairomm/ for instructions how to get
cairomm from git.

Do you know that gtkmm and gtk+ are now unusually unstable? They will
become gtkmm-4.0 and gtk+-4.0, which will not be ABI-compatible with
gtkmm-3.0 and gtk+-3.0. If you want less unstable programs, you can
build gtkmm-3 with jhbuild.

If you don't beat me to it, I'll see whether I know enough jhbuild to resolve this for gtkmm 4 (now a.k.a. gtkmm) in its modulesets.
