+## Linux and macOS
+
+We've provided a convenience script for verifying the C++, Python, C
+GLib, Java and JavaScript builds on Linux and macOS. Read the comments in
+`verify-release-candidate.sh` for instructions.
+
+### C GLib
+
+You need the followings to verify C GLib build:
+
+  * GLib
+  * GObject Introspection
+  * Ruby (not EOL-ed version is required)
+  * gobject-introspection gem
+  * test-unit gem
+
+You can install them by the followings on Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu:
+
+```console
+% sudo apt install -y -V libgirepository1.0-dev ruby-dev
+% sudo gem install gobject-introspection test-unit
+```
+
+You can install them by the followings on CentOS:
+
+```console
+% sudo yum install -y gobject-introspection-devel
+% git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
+% git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
+% echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
+% echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
+% exec ${SHELL} --login
+% sudo yum install -y gcc make patch openssl-devel readline-devel zlib-devel
+% rbenv install 2.4.2
+% rbenv global 2.4.2
+% gem install gobject-introspection test-unit
+```
+
+You can install them by the followings on macOS:
+
+```console
+% brew install -y gobject-introspection
+% gem install gobject-introspection test-unit
+```
+
+You need to set `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` to find libffi on macOS:
+
+```console
+% export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix libffi)/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+```
