gtkmm

Has anyone successfully installed gtkmm on cygwin?

I have gotten GTK 2 (2.24.11) as well as the X window server installed 
and they seem to work (first two C examples from the GTK C tutorial 
compile and run).

Attempts to install GTK 3 have not succeeded. For both GTK 2 and GTK 3 
there seems to be an anomaly in the Cygwin Setup: some files including 
the "GTK X11 toolkit" show a ? in the size column until you select them, 
then the size pops in but the next time you run Setup they will be back 
to "skip" with a ? in the size column.

gtkmm offers  .tar files of the source for both 2 and 3.  I have gotten 
to "2" sources to compile and apparently install but there seem to still 
be some issues with the include files (named like "glibmm.h" instead of 
"gtkmm.h")

My goal is to compile programs using g++ to run on my system under 
cygwin.  At this time I am not worried about running the results outside 
of cygwin, so I'm thinking perhaps the gtkmm warnings about possible 
conflicts with msvcrt might not apply .
