In theory, you should never get this far in the first place:  autogen.sh
checks to see if gnome-autogen.sh is installed, which comes with
gnome-common, which requires pkgconfig to be installed.

Only once those are installed will autogen.sh build a proper configure
script, which in turn will check whether the necessary build packages
(glib, gtk+, etc.) are installed.

Since your autogen.sh didn't abort, I'm assuming you have some copy of
gnome-autogen.sh installed, but not pkgconfig (as is apparent from the
errors above). So, it looks like a package dependency problem to me.
