You are making life difficult for yourself by downloading and trying to compile the source code. The best way to install apps on an offline computer is to download needed .deb packages on an online computer. The trick is to find the complete list of dependencies so that you get all the .deb packages you need. Here is a community wiki page that may be helpful:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Installing_packages_without_an_ Internet_connection

My preference would be to use the synaptic method. The download script it creates is a simple list of wget instructions, so if you have to use Windows it is easy to extract all the urls of the packages to be downloaded and download them one at a time in a browser. Be aware, though, that if you save the synaptic generated download script to a Linux filesystem, it will be owned by root.

In a different thread you started (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2269294) weeks ago, you asked how to install Synaptic on an offline computer.
We told you.

You install Gimp exactly the same way. All packaged software installs the same way. Just change the name of the package.
Simple installation is one of the reasons for packaging.

If you want to install using tarballs and source, you are welcome to...but they are not easy for beginners. Your troubles installing Gimp are an example of why the community moved away from those kinds of installs towards using packages.
