Well, I *didn't* try it, but I am *confident *that there is a way to get 
it working.
for gtk2, you probably need something along the lines of
libgtk2.0-dev (just a guess) and something like libexiv2-dev
Unfortunately dependencies can be a problem across Linux platforms 
sometimes as Debian uses its own naming conventions (as do everyone else)
Those files are available, but named differently.  (if you don't need 
the dev files the library has a similar name)
Try changing the names to the equivalent in Debian.  You can always 
search for them using tab completion in a terminal (or use synaptic)
gtk+-2.0 doesn't exist, but exiv2 does... maybe you need to simply use 
all the repositories, and update apt-get.  have you enabled 
universe/multiverse/etc?

14.04 is much quicker anyhow... so it may be worth waiting for it :)
