Error while building xfdesktop 4.11.5

Hi, I am downloading the packages from here, following the instructions from here and everything is going fine except for xfdesktop.

I get this:

Code:

make[3]: Entrando no diretório `/tmp/xfdesktop-4.11.5/settings'

make[3]: Nada a ser feito para `all-am'.

make[3]: Saindo do diretório `/tmp/xfdesktop-4.11.5/settings'

make  all-am

I am using the official SlackBuilds by the way.

Looks like it needs a newer version of glib2. Probably 2.38.2. But if you upgrade glib2, it will probably break *lots* of other stuff, that will need either a rebuild or a new version that will break *other* stuff that will need...

Well, if that is case I assume I can let the system this way (I recompiled all packages but this one).

What exactly would I need to rebuild?

I just upgraded glib2 2.40 and nothing broke (as far as I am aware). xfdesktop builds fine now. I will mark this as solved.
