I don't understand how to get 'gobject-2.0.pc' installed, so I can't get 'perl Makefile.PL' to complete. So here is a not-fully-tested patch (attached).

Thanks for the heads-up. I decided to adjust all 'require' statements instead of using the catch-all "use lib '.'" approach. Change committed. To get all system dependencies, you'd need to install a package named 'libglib-dev' or similar.

It depends on your distro or your source of GTK+ and friends (for Windows). Recent Debian-ish distros: sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev Recent Red Hat-ish distros: sudo apt-get install glib2-devel Recent tarballs for Windows: it should have come with the "libglib" tarball

Brian, can this issue be resolved?

The code changes to resolve this issue were made in 249475ee as part of the preps for Perl 5.28.0. The original poster never replied back after the above commit was released as stable release 1.325. I'm not seeing the same problem in 5.26.0 on macOS and Linux, so I'm fine with setting the ticket status to "resolved" (which I've just done).
