No, that's just how it works. When it finds something missing that it 
can't do without, it quits, so it's an iterative process (as you've 
already discovered).

libglib2.0-dev. But I think you can save yourself time by going directly 
to:
libgtk2.0-dev. If you install that, you'll get the other too (and 
probably some other stuff). The fact that you don't yet have the glib 
development package implies that you don't have the gtk2 one either. And 
you will certainly need that.
