It sounds like you're trying to build linuxcnc from source, and using
the "debian/configure; dpkg-checkbuilddeps" technique to identify
packages to install, and getting stuck because libgnomeprint2.2 is not
longer available.

Is Mint 17 based on Ubuntu Trusty or Debian Jessie?  Those distros
removed libgnomeprint2.2, which (as you noted) we build-depend on.

There's a workaround that may work for you:

You can ignore it when dpkg-checkbuilddeps tells you to install that
package and go on to the "src/configure" step, and configure will note
that libgnomeprintui is missing and automatically turn off the parts of
linuxcnc that use it.

The only part that's affected is the print dialog box in Classic Ladder,
so if you can live without that you can still build and run linuxcnc on
newer distros.  You can even build debian packages locally.

I'm cooking up a patch set to implement this workaround in our official
package building, but it's not ready yet...  If you do try this out,
please let us know how it goes and if you run into any issues.
