I doubt they fail to run or compile due to GTK-1.2 errors specifically, because the GTK folks are pretty good about backwards compatibility within a major API series and explicitly encourage parallel library installations.
That said, I know Fedora (and presumably others) stopped shipping GTK-1.2 libraries by default several years ago because there's nothing in the standard install sets that uses GTK-1.2 any more. It's still available via yum for those that want/need it.
So, I'm genuinely curious as to what you are trying to run/build, and if you checked that the libraries/headers are indeed installed, and if that build error is indeed due to GTK.
And on a tangental note, I've found that Linux (via Wine) often provides better backwards compatibility for older/ancient Windows software than modern Windows does, especially for stuff written during the years of massive DirectX API churn.

My own tools I wrote back in the day, while learning GTK+. GTK+ 1.x has not been available in Ubuntu for a long time (don't know about others), so no headers and no libraries here. Unless I compile my own, something I'm was not very inclined to do.

GTK+ 1.2 libraries are still in Fedora, fortunately!

Ubuntu ships Dillo 3.x, which uses FLTK, which is available in Ubuntu.
