Gtkmm program compiles fine but crashes - windows

I have recently installed gtkmm (gtkmm-2.4)

when I compile with g++ I use the following information from pkg-config

headerfiles

pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags

objectfiles

pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --libs

So i compile I simple helloworld problam that is to show a window on the screen ...

g++ gtkmm_app2.cpp -o gtkmm_app2 `pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags --libs`

It compiles fine but when I execute the program it chrashes. I get the following information:

An unhandled win32 exception occurred in gtkmm_app2.exe[5364]

I am not an exert on debugging but when I get redirected to Visual Studio the problems seems to point to a dll-file:

 libglibmm-2.4-1.dll

Information about versions and platforms

Compiler:

GNU C++ Compiler: 3.4.5-20060117-3
GNU C++ Compiler Runtime Library: 4.7.2-1

OS:

 Windows XP Home Edition 2002 (Sevice Pack 3)

So My Question: I have no idea what the problems depends on? Could it be the version of MinGw? Or is it the Operating system causing the problem? I can compile and execute without problems using GTK3 on my C-apps, but NOT gtkmm with c++. Any Ideas how to solve the problem(s)? Extremely helpful for help this!!!

EDIT: I succeeded in compiling and execute the app with VC++ (Visual Studio 2010) so it must be MinGW that is responsible for the crash. But I would really like to know WHAT it is that cause the problem and HOW to solve it.

EDIT2: after recompiling with debug support I got this info in cygwing terminalwindow

As I mentioned in the first edit is that I can compile and execute with VC++ in Visual Studio 2010 without problem. So what is the problem then?

回答1:

Now that I see the debug output, I believe your problem is the order of your compile flags. I would try:

g++ -Wall -g `pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4` gtkmm_app2.cpp -o gtkmm_app2 `pkg-config --libs gtkmm-2.4`

The syntax:

`pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags --libs`

should not be used. It'll compile but not link to the external gtkmm libraries.

回答2:

Usually you need separate binaries for mingw and msvc. If you use mingw, you should use gtkmm that has been compiled with mingw. mixing compilers doesnt work very well.
