Error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'gobject-2.0.lib'

Question

I am trying to build a gtk-4 GUI application with the Rust in VScode, but I am unable to because I can't build my project. What could be the problem? How do I fix it?

Here's the error fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'gobject-2.0.lib'

My Cargo.toml

[package]
name = "my-gtk-app"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
gtk = { version = "0.4.7", package = "gtk4", features = ["v4_6"]}

Have you installed the Gtk 4 development package?

Building the project as an administrator fixed the problem.

If that really is the case, then it sounds like you have some bad permissions. I'd seriously look into that. It could cause lots of other issues.
