FWIW, Font::FreeType builds and passes all tests for me when using SP 5.38.0.1 PDL edition

Yes - my only issue with Font::FreeType is a personal thing I have against Devel::CheckLib.
Devel::CheckLib is a module that's not present on my own perl-5.38.0 build, and I'm averse to installing it.
I updated my previous post to show the Makefile.PL I used to build Font::FreeType.

The main issue is that Glib-Object-Inrospection-0.050 being built on SP-5.38.0 is unusable - whereas the G-O-I-0.050 that I build on my own 5.38.0 works fine.
Having installed it on SP, anyway, the problem is demonstrated by the one-liner I provided at the end of my previous post.

With G-O-I, the test scripts are not generated, and the test suite should just skip all of the test scripts.
But errors that include "Can't load 'C:/sp/_64/sp-5.38.0/perl/site/lib/auto/Glib/Glib.xs.dll' for module Glib: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/sp/_64/sp-5.38.0/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 206" are being generated for each test script.
The same thing usually (but not always) happens when I build G-O-I on my own perl ... it's a bit perplexing, but I'll continue to poke at it until that one-liner works on SP.
With my own build of perl, that one-liner always works - which means that the Gtk3 test scripts don't abort, and instead (most of them) pass.

Cheers,
Rob
