On current master and: MINT 18.2 'Sonja' Cinnamon 64-bit with Kernel: 4.10.0-28-generic

I did:

cd
sudo apt-get install git git-gui
git clone https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-dev
sudo apt-get update
cd /linuxcnc-dev/debian
./configure uspace

cd ..
dpkg-checkbuilddeps

and installed the mentioned dependencies with:

sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper libudev-dev libxenomai-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev libreadline-gplv2-dev asciidoc dblatex  dvipng graphviz groff inkscape source-highlight texlive-font-utils texlive-lang-cyrillic texlive-lang-french texlive-lang-german texlive-lang-polish texlive-lang-spanish w3c-linkchecker python-tk libxmu-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libboost-python-dev libmodbus-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev

went on with:

cd src
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-simulator

and got missing dependencies of: bwidget libtk-img tclx

after finishing with make and sudo make setuid and rip-environment I was not able to start hal_gremlin based GUI's as python-gtkglext1 was also missing.

I am not sure, where to add that dependencies or even if I am allowed to. Any help appreciated.

You are confusing the build dependencies of LinuxCNC with the runtime dependencies of LinuxCNC. There are some dependencies that are required only at runtime, not when building the package. dpkg-checkbuilddeps (and related programs such as mk-build-deps) only install build-time dependencies. We can't change this, it's a part of how Debian works.

I see we do mention dpkg-checkbuilddeps in the documentation, please feel free to offer pull requests that improve the documentation.
