This was posted a bit ago about this issue:

This is because Aqua/Carbon are Mac OS X-specific UI libraries - unless 
you're running Gentoo/Darwin (aka Gentoo on Mac OS X), you're not going 
to have the necessary UI libraries for the compiling packages to link 
against, unless you've managed to extract the Carbon libraries intact 
from a Mac system (no idea if that's even possible...)

HTH-

Maybe that will help.  Sound like you need a Mac for that.  I dunno.
