apparently thats the issue there. that one doesnt want to build  
unless you tell it to only build the static library.

forgot to list that one... so 21 dependencies now ;-)

ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.10/gtk+-2.10.2.tar.gz

all packages where the latest I could find.

those are pretty straightforward and are useful for gdlib too

hmm. dont ask me that one. Some tools require it. maybe just because  
the header isnt there.

Well, the one which comes with the OS is not found or detected in Cairo.
And somehow I'm totally confused with the version numbering. The one  
from above is the latest there and is 2.2.1 built not so long ago.  
macOSX comes with something similar but shows version 9 something if  
I'm not mistaken.

Cairo demands them.

yes but thats a quick one... The biggest issues are all this font stuff.

yes but if you build GTK+ as a shared library you want it to be  
useable for generic applications.
if its just a static library for Wireshark, it would be different.

So far I'm happier to got to that point that it really is buildable,  
even with a lot of waiting. this has not been the case in the past..
