Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found Package gtk+-unix-print-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

I don't know what to do with such information. I thougt it was missed packages and I tried to get them but it doesn't work. I try to go on with next step. > ## Start compiling. > $ make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.
