not a GTK-based solution, but are you familiar with Docker?  it solves these problems for you and more.
you will never worry about having to satisfy run-time dependencies on the target platform ever again.  well, everything except needing a docker engine, that is.

    Gtk3 portability
    Hi, I have made a
      Linux gtk3 program and have it running on my Debian Mint AMD64
      machine.
    I mistakenly
      thought
      that the program file (binary file) held all that was needed to
      run.
    I moved the program
      file to a newly installed Mint 18.1 and ran into a few
      difficulties.
    1. I had to install
      libsdl2 to get over the first hick.
    2. My program was
      looking for libglew.so.1.10 but what was in the repository was
      1.13
      obviously a slightly later version.
    3. I overcame hick
      2
      by pulling over C++ and gtk3 and recompiling from source.
    Maybe you guys and
      gals can give me a few pointers so that I can generate the program
      file (binary file) without all the above hassle? Regards Ian.
