Either you configure Qt not to use the GLib event loop or you have to install the glib development packages for your distro.

Qt uses GLib to provide a uniform event queue which can blend with other toolkits, but it is just an option. If you want to avoid GLib dependency, you have to turn it off by passing an appropriate switch to configure.

Alternatively you need to install GLib development package for your distro to be able to compile GLib queue.
