Distro package names vary between distros (and sometimes versions),
for example the Ubuntu 20.04 development package (the one you want) is
called libgtk-3-dev but on Fedora its gtk3-devel (IIUC).  But the
`pkg-config` package provided is still called gtk+-3.0 which (IIUC) is
what configure is testing. There is no real way configure can know the
distro package names AFAIK.
