Hi,

The new Shotwell v12.2 is really well done! I was forced to update from
Ubuntu v10 to enjoy the latest benefits.

I'm trying to compile from source as per website instruction with git
server containing latest code.

The following steps preceded an unsuccessful build:

   - Install clean Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
   - Run sudo apt-get update
   - Install git
   - Install relevant "developer source packages" as per website: >>> sudo
   apt-get install libgconf2-dev libgee-dev libgexiv2-dev libglib2.0-dev
   libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgtk2.0-dev
   libgudev-1.0-dev libexif-dev libgphoto2-2-dev libraw-dev librest-dev
   libsoup2.4-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev m4 libunique-dev libwebkit-dev
   valac-0.16
   - Download source using: git clone git://yorba.org/shotwell
   - Run ./configure and make from Shotwell folder just created from git
   clone.

Error message returned:
..Dev/shotwell$ make
Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-3.0' found
Package unique-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `unique-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Package webkitgtk-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `webkitgtk-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'webkitgtk-3.0' found
make: *** [pkgcheck] Error 1
..Dev/shotwell$

There ain't any packages when searching in Synaptic package manager for
above mentioned required packages that I'm seeing, so I guess I'm looking
in the wrong place for the solution.

How are you guys getting this compiled on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
