 latest 8.0_BETA

 The most convenient test platform available was:
 
 NetBSD brenowin.reltuk.net 8.0_BETA NetBSD 8.0_BETA (KEPLER) #5: Sun Jun 25 10:12:07 CDT 2017  sysop%brenowin.reltuk.net@localhost:/d0/build/netbsd-8/obj/amd64/sys/arch/amd64/compile/KEPLER amd64
 
 using pkgsrc-HEAD.
 
 Packages installed at start of test:
 
 sudo-1.8.20p2       Allow others to run commands as root
 
 "devel/gobject-introspection" itself was built as follows:
 
   $ cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/gobject-introspection
   $ make
 
 Being an amd64 host, it was likely to succeed, which it did.
 
 At this point, the list of installed packages is:
 
 cwrappers-20170611  pkgsrc compiler wrappers
 digest-20160304     Message digest wrapper utility
 m4-1.4.17           GNU version of UNIX m4 macro language processor
 libtool-base-2.4.6  Generic shared library support script (the script itself)
 perl-5.26.0nb1      Practical Extraction and Report Language
 bison-3.0.4nb3      GNU yacc(1) replacement
 gmake-4.1nb3        GNU version of 'make' utility
 pkgconf-1.3.5       API-driven pkg-config replacement
 readline-7.0        GNU library that can recall and edit previous input
 mozilla-rootcerts-1.0.20170121nb5 Root CA certificates from the Mozilla Project
 libffi-3.2.1nb3     Foreign function interface

 py27-cElementTree-2.7.13 C implementation of Python ElementTree API
 py27-expat-2.7.13   Python interface to expat
 p5-gettext-1.07nb2  Perl5 module interface to C I18N functions
 help2man-1.47.4     Generate simple manual pages from program output
 autoconf-2.69nb7    Generates automatic source code configuration scripts
 libelf-0.8.13nb1    ELF object file access library
 pcre-8.40nb2        Perl Compatible Regular Expressions library
 glib2-2.50.3        Some useful routines for C programming (glib2)
 sudo-1.8.20p2       Allow others to run commands as root
 
 "gobject-intropection" itself has not yet been installed.  This will
 happen in the second phase, building a package that uses it.
 
 "www/firefox" was built as several of its dependencies will cause
 "gobject-introspection to be installed and used.
 
 Again, on this amd64 host, with no previously-installed users of
 "gobject-introspection", the build of all dependencies leading up
 to "firefox" succeeded.
 
 The list of installed packages is now:
 
 cwrappers-20170611  pkgsrc compiler wrappers
 digest-20160304     Message digest wrapper utility
 m4-1.4.17           GNU version of UNIX m4 macro language processor

 Of the above, only "at-spi2-core" registers a run-time dependency on
 "gobject-introspection".  Packages "atk", "gdk-pixbuf2", "pango", "gtk2+",
 and "gtk3+" depend on "gobject-introspection" only at build time.
 
 At this point, "/usr/pkg/lib/gio/modules" exists but is empty.
 
 Next step:  build a package that installs something in
 "/usr/pkg/lib/gio/modules" and try building "gobject-introspection" again.
