dpkg-checkbuildeps fails here, no debian/control has been generated 
because configure takes a dump. So its solve one dependency at a time. 
Currently can't find gtk2.

Classic chicken v egg problem. Had it myself many times.  You need a usb2 
hub to hold the buttons and a Logitech K-360 keyboard, and a small 
wireless logitech mouse. I don't care for the optics location on the 
bottom, too far back but it works well otherwise. I take the tops off 
and figure out how to raise the needed pressure to activate the buttons, 
they're way too easy to click. Now I can let my ancient, somewhat 
arthritic fingers actually lay on the buttons. Much more comfortable.
