Fundamentally you want to start with "./configure --disable-wireshark" to
disable the GUI.  Of course you'll still need quite a number of libraries
(such as glib2) and programs (such as Python) but the list should be a lot
shorter without the GUI.

There are also READMEs (including README.aix) in the source code that are
worth checking out.
