You are gong to hear what gtkmm does not want anyone to know, GTKmm has abandon 
it’s Microsoft development. Unlike these other gtkmm developers, my advice is 
that if you *need* to develop applications for Microsoft, you should use Visual 
Studio 2013, but if you have a extensive C++ library, like I do, it is better 
to jump to Qt5.2.x. It is a magnificent GUI toolkit for both Win7 and 8.1 as 
well as for *nix and Apple platforms. But most importantly, it comes with a 
most wonderful RAD.
You can later on use C++/CLI, which is a supper set of VC++, to port your C++ 
library to the newest, most brilliant and most powerful Microsoft Software 
Development technology yet, .Net.
This is only my personal opinion, and I am sure that a lot of people here would 
not agree, but that would be out loyalty and not profit. I have chosen the path 
I have advised you to take, ‘cos I make money with my work, not friends.

Why aren't there new binaries built and uploaded to the site?

No new build in two years?

  Gavin's advice is spot on, Syed.  You should pay great attention to it.  
Unless you really understand what you're doing, mixing and matching different 
CRTs in the same process is an excellent way to build an unreliable app.

  Given that the VC10 version of gtkmm will probably rely on other components 
that were also built with VC10, I'd strongly advise you to pick up a cheap 
version of VC10, rather than continuing to build with VS2013.

  There's a technique you can use to force VS2013 to use an older CRT but it's 
probably a bit advanced for a beginner.  I'm pretty sure you could obtain VC10 
cheap (or free) if you searched hard enough.
