The problem is due to changed behavior of pkg-config, most probably
occurred in version 0.28. "pkg-config --atleast-version N libA libB"
now checks if both libraries are >= N (which will always return false
for gtk+-3.0 if the last macro argument is used because the
gthread-2.0 version is 2.40.x). Then the test in the AC_TRY_RUN macro
is doomed to fail because the no_gtk variable is set to "yes" and as a
consequence GTK_CFLAGS/GTK_LIBS/gtk_config_*_version are undefined.
Trivial patch attached. I can't reproduce this with pkg-config/0.26-1
on wheezy which makes me think that this is new behavior as of 0.28.
I am not sure it was intended though, seems unnatural/incorrect to me.
