You need to install additional packages.
The output of ./configure probably has "no" following the test for
some package for gvim, but one not needed for terminal vim, so it
wasn't flagged beyond the "no".
I ran 'make distclean' in my vim source directory, then ran your
configure command followed by 'make'. Executing 'src/vim -g'
produced a gvim window. So, your configure command worked.
On an Ubuntu system where I haven't yet built vim, I run
$ sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gtk3
to get the gvim dependencies. It should be similar for mint.
HTH,
Gary
