Re: [Win32] HTTP::Soup

[Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi gmail com>]

You will need gobject-introspection as a pre-requisite for building
introspection support in libsoup — and any other GObject-based
library.

I'd like to point out a couple of additional things, though:

  - GLib 2.34.1 is from October 2012, which makes it almost 5 years
old. You should seriously update it.
  - Libsoup 2.40.3 is from January 2013; again, please update it.

Since you're building on Windows, you should look into MSYS2:
http://www.msys2.org/

MSYS2 is the recommended way to build the G* stack libraries, and it
has all the dependencies needed to build recent versions, with
introspection enabled.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
