Thank you for you answer, I'm trying to compile it with ./autogen.sh.

I don't really know which I want - I *think* I should contribute to master if I want to introduce new stuff to the library, but I couldn't find anything on that topic on the website.

Indeed, the default is to base patches on master, unless the patch is only applicable to stable - and especially if you are adding new API, which I now realise you are.

In that case, then of course, you simply need to compile and install sigc++ master (3) first. I tend to find jhbuild an easier way to do this nowadays, but sigc++ is small enough that it's not much hassle to do manually.

Once the package is installed on your system, the .pc file will be available for pkg-config to find, and configure for gtkmm will succeed. (assuming no other missing deps, etc.)
