By FTP I mean: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glibmm/ (version 2.52 and 2.54). As for git, I had in mind obtaining zip file from https://git.gnome.org/browse/glibmm/.

Yes, and I meant, which zip? If it was a master one, then it will require corresponding unstable versions of all related dependencies. You won't be able to mix and match e.g. master glibmm and stable sigc++.

 

Now I see, that there are some files with .hg extension in git sources. Should I do something before opening solution file in Visual Studio?

Well, before the library can be built and installed, the *.*g files need to be processed with gmmproc in order to generate actual C++ files.

If you're creating a VS project to build any mm library, that is pretty much the first step it needs to run.
