Description Jonh Wendell 2010-09-29 19:05:15 UTC 
While building libgda, g-ir-compiler stopped due to an error:

Gda-4.0.gir:22:50: error: The element <type> is invalid here

g-ir-scanner generated an invalid gir file:

    <alias name="SList" c:type="GdaSList">
      <type name="GLib.SList" c:type="GSList">
        <type name="gpointer" c:type="gpointer"/>  <=== Line 22
      </type>
    </alias>

The C header is http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgda/tree/libgda/gda-types.h
Line 35.
