The good way to use GtkGlExt in C++ is, indeed, to use GtkGlExtmm.
Still, you can use GtkGlExt in a C++ program, Glibmm provides everything
you need for this. But this is not the better way – I would say, not the
elegant way.

        The thing is, you need first to have a fully Gtk+ 3 functional GtkGlExt
before having a Gtkmm 3 functional GtkGlExtmm.

For my part, in my own applications, I do not use GtkGlExt, but
GtkGlExtmm. If I plan to volunteer, it is to have a GtkGlExtmm fully
functional.
