When you build gtk, it does not build the static libraries by default. You need to either rebuild gtk with static libraries enabled, or download a set of static libs from somewhere. 

If you check the list archives you'll see a few posts on this subject, for example:

Unfortunately, searching the list archive seems to be broken :-(
