Hello all,

I have been trying for /six months/ to get a gtkmm 3.0/glibmm-2.4 C++
application built. It works just fine on Linux, and compiles properly
there. However, I have tried all manner of methods for compiling on Windows.

I have used Windows XP 32-bit, Windows 7 32-bit, and Windows 7 64-bit. I
have tried MSYS, MSYS2, MinGW, TDM-GCC (Code::Blocks on both). I have
built gtkmm and dependencies from scratch on MSYS following two
different tutorials, and neither worked. I installed them on MSYS2 using
the official method, and then manually built the entire program, only to
get a 0xc000007b error when I tried to run the executable.

I have also tried to cross-compile build on Ubuntu, but I cannot get the
undocumented settings for pkg-config and heaven knows what else just so
right it will stop giving "undefined reference" errors from gtkmm/glibmm.

This is probably the most non-obvious, non-trivial thing I've ever had
to do on a computer, and I've /built a computer language before/. It
should not take six months to compile working code.

I seriously need either A) a proper installer for gtkmm 3.0 and
dependencies (including glibmm 2.4), so I can simply build through
Code::Blocks and MinGW or TDM-GCC, or B) a step-by-step instruction
manual that walks me through the entire process of building for Windows,
point A to point Z, either on Ubuntu (64-bit) or Windows 7 (64-bit). The
problem here is 100% on the gtkmm project, and its complete lack of
documentation for something that is allegedly encouraged.

Apologies if I sound a little short. Imagine building an overdue project
for six months, and I think you'll understand where I'm at. Thanks in
advance for your help.

-Jason
