Can't build GTK2 apps after cleanup

hallo.

How can I install gtk2 development headers from ports?
They are needed to build pidgin, but I can't find them in ports!

ACTION:
Code: 
: cd /usr/ports/net-im/pidgin
: sudo make install clean


ERROR:
Code: 
checking for GTK... no
no
configure: error: 

You must have GTK+ 2.10.0 or newer development headers installed to compile
Pidgin.  If you want to build only Finch then specify --disable-gtkui when
running configure.

===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to marcus@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/net-im/pidgin/work/pidgin-2.10.6/config.log" including the output
of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide
an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. a /usr/sbin/pkg_info
-Ea).
*** [do-configure] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net-im/pidgin.
*** [install] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net-im/pidgin.

Also, I have gtk2 installed.
 
cd to usr/ports and then

Code: 
#make search name=gtk | more
this will show u all ports related to GTK on it's name. output will be paged with more using a pipe.

Code: 
#make search key=gtk | more
this will show you al ports related by any reason with gtk

if you have already installed and configured sudo, place "sudo" before any of those 2 commands to avoid use root account(isn't safe to use root everyday).

every port has a directory in ports tree. find the port that you need, cd to that directory and type "make install". some ports have huge dependence lists, so you can pre-configure them with "make config-recursive" and save tons of time, ensure that your configs aren't broken.
it's hihgly recommended to update ports tree, use portsnap(read man) or cvsup. avoid to use packages with ports mixed.
 
Are there any options in /etc/make.conf that might interfere?
 
You mean one of these?

Code: 
WITH_KMS="YES"
WITH_NEW_XORG="YES"
KERNCONF=LITE
WITHOUT_MODULES="netgraph"
CPUTYPE?=core2
CFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
MAKE_SHELL?=sh
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe
PERL_VERSION=5.14.2

Remove these. They will do more harm than good.

Compile options are not the cause of my problem.

Once again, after cleaning up (doing sudo make clean in the /usr/ports) the whole ports tree (and removing unused dependencies from already installed packages with pkg_cutleaves) I can't build any port that uses GLIB/GTK2 headers to compile.

For example, now I'm trying to build package for gmrun to install it, but it cannot locate glib/gtk2 development headers and so gives lots of errors and doesn't build properly.

I'm lost somewhere. Please help
 
re-install both gtk2 and glib2 - if you have those installed, the headers should be as well.. if not, then your installations of them are corrupt. FreeBSD does not separate headers from libraries..
 
Changing settings from defaults without good reason to do so can cause that. CFLAGS are a known source of problems. I'm also curious about MAKE_SHELL. Why change that?
 
now I'll wipe the ports tree and begin a new life

MAKE_SHELL was written here before. I didn't touch it.

Also, glib and gtk headers are in the place, but are not seen by ports...
