David,

The makefile.gtk system works fine. There was some discussion recently 
on this list that the scons builder was no longer current and the 
enthusiasm to keep it current had fallen away. So if you do not know 
how to modify it to make it work, you should use makefile.gtk

make -f makefile.gtk

How hard is that?

Then, as you find missing header files or libraries, go to your 
distribution's package search engine on the web, to find which packages 
contain the files that are complained about and install those packages.
