 I don't understand why it don't want to build wireshark

Probably because it didn't find the developer package of GTK+. Is GTK+ installed? If so, is the GTK+ developer package - perhaps called something such as "gtk-devel" - installed?

Try downloading the latest SVN tarball - with it, the configure script fails immediately if GTK+ isn't found, rather than silently disabling Wireshark.

The other things it's, when i execute "make" after do (./autogen.sh and
./configure) a very amazing number of page of warning was wroted. It's so
long, that i never let the make finish.

A lot of the warnings come from the output of our tool to turn an ASN.1 specification for a protocol (and some additional information) into a dissector; for some reason, for some protocols a lot of unused functions are generated.
