cannot compile gtk+-1.2.8

[eduard epi t-online de (Peter Bornemann)]

Help is needed!

When compiling gtk+-1.2.8 everything works fine, until it comes to
gtkaccelgroup. then it bombs out with: gtkaccelgroup.c: In function
`gtk_accel_group_create_add': gtkaccelgroup.c:668:
`GTK_TYPE_ACCEL_GROUP' undeclared (first use in this function)
gtkaccelgroup.c:668: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gtkaccelgroup.c:668: for each function it appears in.)
gtkaccelgroup.c:670: `GTK_TYPE_GDK_MODIFIER_TYPE' undeclared (first
use in this function) gtkaccelgroup.c:671: `GTK_TYPE_ACCEL_FLAGS'
undeclared (first use in this function) gtkaccelgroup.c: In function
`gtk_accel_group_create_remove': gtkaccelgroup.c:687:
`GTK_TYPE_ACCEL_GROUP' undeclared (first use in this function)
gtkaccelgroup.c:689: `GTK_TYPE_GDK_MODIFIER_TYPE' undeclared (first
use in this function) make[2]: *** [gtkaccelgroup.lo] Error 1 make[2]:
Leaving directory `/reiser/gtk+-1.2.8/gtk' make[1]: ***
[all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory
`/reiser/gtk+-1.2.8' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

"Configure" is working ok, so what am I doing wrong? Any help will be
appreciated. Please cc me, for I am not on this list (Cannot read so
much)
