I don't know for sure, but I think gobject-introspection did not exist 
when glibmm and friends were first created. Then no one has taken the 
time to learn gobject-introspection and to convert everything. I think 
there once was an attempt to generate glibmm from gobject-introspection, 
but it was not finished.

There are some instructions in the gtkmm tutorial, appendix G: 
https://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm-tutorial/stable/chapter-wrapping-c-libraries.html.en. 
It's not completely up-to-date. It assumes that you will build with 
Autotools. I suppose you prefer Meson.

mm-common contains the skeletonmm directory with files you can start 
with. The skeletonmm project contains files for building with Meson. If 
you decide to use it, I recommend that you clone mm-common from the git 
repo with the latest commits.
