I am trying to compile Thunar 1.8.2.
I can not figure how to install exo-2.
Can someone help?

Compiling from source code needs installation of special development packages (build dependencies).
At first you need to open Software & Updates application from GUI or by software-properties-gtk command. Then  check [ ] Source Code  on the first tab and confirm reloading software lists.
The Thunar is packaged in Ubuntu, so you can use the command below to get its build-dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep thunar

To install additional dependency use:
sudo apt-get install libatk-bridge2.0-dev

And then fix libraries as @Terrance suggested in comments:
sudo ldconfig
