Description Philip Withnall 2015-02-06 15:24:48 UTC 
Adding the right automake rules to invoke glib-compile-resources, especially correctly using --generate-dependencies, is non-trivial, and is going to get cargo-culted.

It would be nice if GLib provided a macro to simplify this.

Additionally, such a macro could run xmllint on the .gresource.xml file on `make check`, given a suitable schema for the GResource XML format (I believe that doesn’t exist at the moment?).

…although since glib-compile-resources already does validation, this isn’t of too much value.

glib-build.mk includes this
