The wiki page you quote seems to be correct .... if you use the instructions
there to check out core from subversion it looks finel. A subversion checkout
of 'core' will get you what you need (make, base, gui, back).
I guess your problem is that you ignored the svn checkout command and tried to
use git instead ... and I'm afraid I have no idea how to use git, but you will
need at least the core stuff ... make, base, gui, back. If you want to use
objc2 then you'll need to get clang and libobjc2 separately, but otherwise
things should work with the standard debain gcc/objc packages.
I'd guess you want the cairo backend.
