Errors during ./configure

I was trying to compile Midnight-Commander from source and get it to run. I downloaded the source files using GIT and than went to the project folder and run the ./configure script. Because it was on my newly installed OpenSuse machine I run into following errors and solved them by installing required components:

maint/autopoint: line 421: /usr/share/gettext/archive.tar.gz: No such file or directory
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
cvs checkout: cannot find module `archive' - ignored
find: `archive': No such file or directory

autopoint: *** infrastructure files for version 0.14.3 not found; this is autopoint from GNU gettext-tools 0.17
autopoint: *** Stop.

-> install gettext-tools

./autogen.sh: line 55: aclocal: command not found

-> install autogen & automake

./autogen.sh: line 48: libtoolize: command not found

-> install libtool

checking for GLIB... no
configure: error: glib-2.0 not found or version too old (must be >= 2.8)

-> install glib2-devel

checking for slang/slang.h... no
configure: error: Slang header not found

-> Install slang and slang-devel

After that I was able to run MAKE and the run the compiled project.
