So am I :-)

It should compile with any reasonably recent (i.e., not Debian stable)
Linux distribution. I don't think we use any interfaces that are newer
than Gnome 2.18 or something ancient like that. I intentionally didn't
use a couple of the newer interfaces to handle action groups that were
added in 2.28...

All these should be defined in /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkkeysyms.h

And of course looking into this a little more it appears that Gtk
changed these from GDK_Up to GDK_KEY_Up (etc) somewhere between 2.20 and
2.24. That sucks. :-(

Which distribution / OS are you building on?
