I have been attempting this for about a week now and this is what I
have gotten so far( Intel P4,RH Linux 7.2,Kernel 2.4.18 ):

You will need the source for pango,atk,glib,gtk+,libsigc++ and gtkmm.

For pange,atk,glib,and libsigc++ I used the following for configure to
produce a static lib:

~> configure \ 
    --prefix=/path/to/your/install/place \
    --disable-shared \
    --enable-static
~> make && make install

Here is where I have not gotten past, building a static version of gtk+.

I had to download the src for zlib and libpng to produce libpng.a.  Make sure
that libpng.a is in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH before any libpng.so found elsewhere on
my system.  Next, I used the following configure line:

/configure \
    --prefix=/path/to/your/install/place \
    --enable-static \
    --disable-shared \
    --disable-modules \
    --with-included-loaders=png

This is really just a repeat of the email I sent to gtk-list(ommitting the
error messages):

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2003-January/msg00339.html

Somewhere in the immodules there are trouble.  This was all being tried w/
gtk+ 2.2.0.  I have not tried the new 2.2.1 release which the update list
states there were some configure fixes (which is what I think is causing it
not to build).

Let me know if you get any further.
