Cannot build application with pkg-config using autoconf, automake

[mi16]

I've developed a gtkmm application under Linux and now am trying to port it
to Win32
(Windows 7).
To do so I installed MinGW with msys (mingw-get-inst-20111118.exe),
and gtkmm (gtkmm-win32-devel-2.22.0-2.exe) on Windows 7.
To test the installation I wrote very simple test (it just opens an empty
Gtk::Windows).

If I build and launch the test directly by doing such commands:

$ g++ gtkmm001.cc -ogtkmm001.exe `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-2.4`
$ ./gtkmm001.exe

everything works fine. I see an empty Gtk::Window on the screen. 

But I get an error while trying to build this test using GNU autoconf,
automake tools:

$ autoreconf --verbose --force --install
$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for g++... g++
checking whether the C++ compiler works... yes
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.exe
checking for suffix of executables... .exe
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking dependency style of g++... gcc3
./configure: line 2958: syntax error near unexpected token `MGTKMM,'
./configure: line 2958: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(MGTKMM, gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.22.0)'

Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you, Mikhail
