To compile with autotools, you must install gtk devel packages (even if you don't build the Gtk interface, which is not working by the way).
But as you can read in the user guide, the recommended way to compile WeeChat is with cmake (it's a lot faster than autotools, and gtk is not needed).

The INSTALL file indicates that autotools is supported as a build system.  It does not build.
