Description

Hi I just followed installation step and get the following erros:

sudo luarocks install lgi
Installing https://luarocks.org/lgi-0.9.2-1.src.rock
make -C lgi
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/luarocks_lgi-0.9.2-1-ppcbkw/lgi/lgi'
pkg-config --exists 'gobject-introspection-1.0 >= 0.10.8' --print-errors
Package gobject-introspection-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gobject-introspection-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'gobject-introspection-1.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found
make[1]: *** [Makefile:53: .depcheck] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/luarocks_lgi-0.9.2-1-ppcbkw/lgi/lgi'
make: *** [Makefile:16: all] Error 2

Error: Build error: Failed building.

Research direction

Start with the installation step that instructs running sudo luarocks install lgi, then inspect the reported pkg-config check for gobject-introspection-1.0. Compare the installation requirements with the error and document the missing dependency or setup needed. Done means the documented installation command completes successfully.
