  • Did you install the dependencies listed in the README? I would have expected X Window development files to have been installed as dependencies of the required GTK+ development package

You do not need to install all dependencies of Thunar manually.

You should use the power of APT to get the dependencies:



sudo apt-get build-dep thunar


along with new dependencies of the 1.8.4-1 source code package for upcoming disco:



sudo apt-get install libexo-2-dev libgtk-3-dev libxfce4panel-2.0-dev libxfce4ui-2-dev


and then compile and install it with checkinstall make install.
