Compiling WebRTC has failed

I wanted to compile WebRTC for an Android project. Therefore, I followed the steps at https://medium.com/@silvestr1994/webrtc-on-android-part-1-building-b6982aad4b49 . Every step was fine until I came to the Compiling step (Step-4):

gn gen out/Debug --args='target_os="android" target_cpu="arm"'

When I put this into the commandline, then it outputs the following error:

ac3l1k@ac3l1k-C:~/Desktop/PROJECT/WebRTC-code/src$ gn gen out/Debug --args='target_os="android" target_cpu="arm"'
ERROR at //build/config/linux/pkg_config.gni:103:17: Script returned non-zero exit code.
    pkgresult = exec_script(pkg_config_script, args, "value")

See //build/config/linux/BUILD.gn:89:3: whence it was called.
  pkg_config("glib") {
  ^-------------------
See //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:218:18: which caused the file to be included.
    configs += [ "//build/config/linux:compiler" ]
                 ^------------------------------

Can anybody help ?

Note: I am using Linux Ubuntu 18.04

just lack of pkg-config when calling pkg_config("glib").
sudo apt install pkg-config
