Update: I’ve switched over to WSL since posting this answer. If you’re still using Cygwin give it a try. It’s not a drop-in replacement but it’s nicer in a number of ways. Personally, I find having to exit Cygwin just to install new packages annoying enough to try to avoid the just-in-time strategy, and fortunately … Read more
I had the same issue. i changed my setting in “Select Your Internet Connection” to “Use Internet Explorer Proxy” instead of “Direct Connection”.It worked like a charm. I guess the issue is due to the proxy layer at work.

uname -m And it should say x86_64 in the output if it’s 64-bit, or i686 if 32-bit.

You’re probably missing the development package. The package name varies by distribution, but it’s the one containing /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gobject-introspection-1.0.pc (or /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gobject-introspection-1.0.pc for some 64-bit distros): Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, etc.: gobject-introspection-devel Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc.: libgirepository1.0-dev Arch: gobject-introspection FreeBSD: gobject-introspection Cygwin: libgirepository1.0-devel msys2: mingw-w64-x86_64-gobject-introspection and/or mingw-w64-i686-gobject-introspection

Once upon a time, 64-bit Cygwin was missing many packages present in 32-bit Cygwin, but today the list of such packages is quite short. Since that was the last significant reason to create new 32-bit Cygwin installs on 64-bit Windows systems, it is unlikely that you have a good reason to do that today. The … Read more
