I may be mistaken but IIRC you have only --with-libglade
and --without-libglade configuration options (or some variants
of that like '--with-libglade=yes').

I have no idea how Slackware is splitting its packages but
usually things like 'libglade-xgettext' belong to a "devel" part
together with headers and development libraries and you need
those anyway if you want to use '--with-libglade'.  A presence
of some shared library is good enough to run things but not
sufficient to compile.  Most likely other warnings you have seen
are caused by that.  You need to install more of a develpment
stuff.
