It might a problem if your distro doesn't have it available in its repositories. Its one of those things that are hard to hand compile because of dependencies. Which distro and version are you using?

Zorin 16 is based on ubuntu 20.04 which uses glib 2.64. Ubuntu 21.10 has glib 2.68 and 22.04 has glib 2.72. You'll need a version of Zorin that is based on one of those ubuntu versions. Please also note that is needs the development version of libxfce4util which hasn't been official released yet.

It's going to be tough to get this all in place for Zorin 16.

Note: there is an Xfce development docker image that you can install if you want to have a look and test the newer features.
