Sergei at Apps from Scratch has an excellent list of dependencies you can use.

However, one thing I will mention is that quite a few of the projects, and the tarballs associated with them, have ended up moving from wherever they were in the first place to freedesktop.org.  This is one of the places you should be looking to find files.  Since this is a (relatively) new and ongoing event, Google searches tend to not be as helpful as they once were, or will be again after things settle down.
