Fails to build Cairo on Windows - Julia 1.1

[mathis-g]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to install the ImageView package on Julia 1.1 on Windows 10, which requires Cairo and Gtk. But both Cairo and Gtk fail to build. Apparently, this is not a new problem, there has been some issues with older versions of Julia, two or three years ago, and the issue came back on Mac around March of this year : #271. But according to this post, at that time it worked on Windows. There is also some people who wanted it to run on Windows 7 : #265, but their way of solving the problem do not work with me, and they also say it worked on Windows 10. I also tried to remove environment variables like in #261 but this did not work.
So is this a problem with my computer or is this due to some recent update ?

When I execute using ImageView, I got :
ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: error compiling top-evel scope: could not load library "libgobject-2.-0" The specified module could not be found.

So I tried Pkg.build("ImageView"), and I got this :
