Its impossible to build Bamf with latest glib (glib-2.30.0)
Bamf code needs to be updated else will output this:

I already received a reply from "Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen" to my personal email saying:

I dont get why is saying this, did i said that i was building any special or legacy gio module?
I think i was clear enough when i say that BAMF does not build with latest glib version 2.32.0, and to clarify that i do not run Ubuntu since the first person i talked also said that i should use some ubuntu release to etc,etc.
