Tonight, repeat those builds using Strawberry Perl 5.38.0, built against the same Gtk2 and GTk3 libraries.
Strawberry will actually create the "Glib.a", "Cairo.a" and "Pango.a" files that my own build of perl did not.
Turns out that this happens because I had ExtUtils-Depends-0.8001, whereas SP has ExtUtils-Depends-0.8000.
I'll provide notes of how those same modules fare on Strawberry when it's all done

Cheers,
Rob.

Cairo-GObject-1.005
###################
Accessing same renamed libraries as I used with my own build of perl.

No need to amend CPATH environment variable.

Run 'perl Makefile.PL'

The generated Makefile correctly lists (in both EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLI
+BS) the 'auto/Glib/Glib.a' file.
But it misses the 'auto/Cairo/Cairo.a' file.
Therefore, at the beginnig of both the EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS entrie
+s in the generated Makefile,
we need to insert the full path to that Cairo.a file.
For me, I insert:
"C:\sp\_64\sp-5.38.0\perl\site\lib\auto\Cairo\Cairo.a"

Run 'gmake test', 'gmake install'.

All tests passed.

set CPATH=%CPATH%;D:\msys64\mingw64\include\pango-1.0;D:\msys64\mingw6

Run 'perl Makefile.PL'

Again, 'auto/Cairo/Cairo.a' is omitted from EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS.
Again, in both places, I insert:
"C:\sp\_64\sp-5.38.0\perl\site\lib\auto\Cairo\Cairo.a"

Run 'gmake test', 'gmake install'.

All tests passed.

EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS both include 'auto/Glib/Glib.a' and 'auto/Pan

but again, 'auto/Cairo/Cairo.a' is omitted from EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLI

This is (apparently) worse than the results I got on my own build of p

which reported only 5/227 failing test programs.
I don't know what accounts for the difference, but it would be interes

All 22 tests fail - needs investigating, no point in installing.
On my own build of perl-5.38.0, only 3 of the 22 tests failed.
Could there be some interference from libraries in Strawberry's c/lib

      The poorer result for the Gtk2-1.24993 tests that I get with Strawberry Perl is entirely due to the fact that perl/site/lib/Gtk2/Gdk/Keysyms.pm is generated as an empty file on Strawberry.
      When I replace that empty file with the correctly generated Keysyms.pm that my own build of perl-5.38.0 created, then I get identical results of "5/227 failing test programs", not "11/227 failing test programs.
      I tried to put the contents of that Keysyms.pm on my scratchpad, but it's too big for perlmonks to accommodate.
      If anyone wants a copy of it just /msg me with an email address I can post it to.

      I don't know why Strawberry doesn't provide the same Keysyms.pm. (I've got some notes on my Windows 7 machine from 5 years ago that inform me that the same thing happened back then, too.)

      I've also got some old notes stating that installing Font::FreeType improves the capabilities of Cairo.
      I was going to try that out, but Devel::CheckLib is a prereq, and I'm not up to dealing with that annoying hoop tonight.

      <UPDATE>
      I've now (approx 24 hours later) built and installed Font-FreeType-0.16. It builds and tests fine, but doesn't change anything AFAICS. To build Font-FreeType, I replaced the Makefile.PL that ships with the distro with: 
      use strict;
use warnings;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

WriteMakefile(
    NAME               => 'Font::FreeType',
    AUTHOR             => 'Geoff Richards <qef@laxan.com>',
    VERSION_FROM       => 'lib/Font/FreeType.pm',
    LIBS => '-LD:/msys64/mingw64/lib -lfreetype',
    INC  => '-ID:/msys64/mingw64/include/freetype2',
);

      </UPDATE>

      I've yet to work out why Gtk3 is so broken on the Strawberry build.
      The (fairly fundamental) problem is that the following runs fine on my own build of perl-5.38.0: 
      D:\>perl -MGtk3 -wle "my ($success, $rest) = Glib::Object::Introspecti
+on->invoke ('Gtk', undef, 'init_check', [$0, @ARGV]); print 'ok';"
ok

      [download]
      But on Strawberry's 5.38.0, running the same command, I get: 
      D:\>perl -MGtk3 -wle "my ($success, $rest) = Glib::Object::Introspecti
+on->invoke ('Gtk', undef, 'init_check', [$0, @ARGV]); print 'ok'"
Could not prepare a call interface at -e line 1.

      [download]
      Looks like the problem lies with the Glib-Object-Introspection module.

        FWIW, Font::FreeType builds and passes all tests for me when using SP 5.38.0.1 PDL edition. (Edit - and also the non_PDL edition).

        Is this perhaps a clash between the SP DLLs and the MSYS2 DLLs?
