I wanted to compile and install something-for-reddit from git.

As I went with ./configure.ac it showed below error.

./configure: line 5088: GLIB_GSETTINGS: command not found
./configure: line 5089: syntax error near unexpected token `1.42.0'
./configure: line 5089: `GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_CHECK(1.42.0)'

As I searched here in stackoverflow, it showed me that the GLIB_GSETTINGS are found in libglib2.0-dev but as I tried to install it through

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0

Again it threw below error

I have upgraded the system from 14.04 to 16.04 one month back, did I miss something or am I doing something wrong now .

The something for reddit git source is here. https://github.com/samdroid-apps/something-for-reddit You can check all the dependencies here too, Package Details: something-for-reddit-git 0.1-1 .

Also found same errors faced by other users here..
