Just use --prefix, eg.

cd glib-2.4.2; ./configure --prefix=/home/test/gtk2; make; make install

Set your environment so you pick up libraries from the new area. You need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH (maybe others? can't remember)

Now build the other packages

cd atk- ... etc.
cd pango- ...
cd gtk- ...
