Can't configure source .. says GTK+ does not meet version requirements but it does

[ghost]

Hey. I am trying to compile mednaffe from source on linux (Mint 17.3) .. but it is complaining that I need GTK >= 2.24. I have 2.24.23, so it should work.. but it is still yelling at me.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Nevermind you can close.. It was asking for dev libs.

Installed libgtk2.0-dev and it worked

Yes, error messages are not clear. Fixed on 7167ed3 commit.
