Please describe the problem:
Armin,

I'm opening this bug for completeness sake since the MFC header problem was discussed tangentially on bug #549343.  

All .rc.in files in the gtkmm/glibmm projects should be patched:

a) to remove the #include <resource.h> header and
b) to replace the #include <afxres.h> header with #include <windows.h>

The existing headers assume the installation of MFC (MS foundation classes) and the newer "Express" edition environments from Microsoft do not include MFC, e.g. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express.  These patches should enable building on more MS platforms.  I suggest thorough testing, of course.

The affected files: for gtkmm:

../atkmm/atkmm.rc.in
../gdkmm/gdkmm.rc.in
../pangomm/pangomm.rc.in
../gtkmm/gtkmm.rc.in and

for glibmm:

../glibmm/glibmm.rc.in

Phil
