Hi fwanghuan,

Welcome here!

You are missing the gobject introspection files for Glib. On ubuntu, they are provided by gir1.2-glib-2.0.

Hi emmanuel,

Thanks for reply.

I’m sure I have already installed the gir1.2-glib-2.0 by the command “apt-get install gir1.2-glib-2.0”, and in the directory “/usr/share/gir-1.0”, I can’t find both the GObject-2.0.gir and Gio.gir.

So, what can I do in the next step?

You also need to install libgirepository1.0-dev.

Cheers.

Hi, Thanks. It works well after install libgirepository1.0-dev.
