Hi there,

Reading through the log I think this is the problem:

rbglib_bookmarkfile.c:39:1: error: static declaration of ‘g_bookmark_file_get_type’ follows non-static declaration
   39 | g_bookmark_file_get_type(void)
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glimmer is a wonderful project and I would love to use it / help with development.

What version of Ruby are you running? This gem was developed when Ruby 3.1 was the latest version. It might have issues with newer Rubies. I would regress my Ruby to 3.1 (or even to an older version like 3.0) before trying to install the gem.

There are plans to update the gem to support GTK 4, which should run on newer Rubies. Until that happens, I recommend regressing to an older version of Ruby if that works, or exploring other Glimmer DSLs temporarily.

Hi Andy,

Just attempted install with Rubies 3.1.6 and 3.0.0, both threw the same errors on install.
