There is a huge number of examples how to do this in public code
repositories, you can look at essentially any Gnome application written
in C.

In brief:

configure.ac:
    # Require Gtk+ version at least 2.8.0
    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK,[gtk+-2.0 >= 2.8.0])

Makefile.am:
    # Add Gtk+ compiler and linker flags
    AM_CFLAGS = ... $(GTK_CFLAGS)
    foo_LDADD = ... $(GDK_LIBS)

With this, compiling and linking of a simple Gtk+ program (called foo)
should work.
