configure: error: Package requirements (glibmm-2.4 >= 2.28) were not met:

Requested 'glibmm-2.4 >= 2.28' but version of glibmm is 2.24.2
You may find new versions of glibmm at http://www.gtkmm.org/

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIBMM_DEPS_CFLAGS
and GLIBMM_DEPS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
