Why not switch to use gtkmm - an object oriented layer on-top of gtk?

When I use these libraries, does that mean that people have to download
these libraries first to be able to compile the program (e.g. with a
make file to this program) or does it run anyhow with the usual gtk? I
guess a compiled program runs over gtk, but if someone wants to compile
it with a make file, he needs to download the three needed libraries
first. At the moment I am downloading it and see that I need libsigc and
glibmm for using gtkmm and I read that I naturally have to bind in other
header files than gtk/gtk.h. When someone wants to use my program, which
should be built with a makefile, he has to download these libraries
too,

Right -- if they're going to use the code, they have to have the
libraries. If they've got a reasonable distribution, though, getting
them is easy enough not to be a problem.

which is associated with work and the next problem is the compatibility to
Windows. At the moment I don't write anything for Windows and it's
possible to use the standard gtk on Windows too, so it wouldn't be a
problem to port programs to Windows. I found information about a gtkmm
runtime environment but who knows if this is as stable as the usual gtk
library.
