Sample library to reproduce the problem

When compiling with --library foo --gir=Foo-1.0.gir the generated gir doesn't include the shared-library attribute on the <namespace> element. This is required for the typelibs to work with PyGI and other dynamic introspection languages.

See fx. in Gtk-3.0.gir:

            <namespace name="Gtk"
                       version="3.0"
                       shared-library="libgtk-3.so.0"
                       c:identifier-prefixes="Gtk"
                       c:symbol-prefixes="gtk">

Just use the --shared-library swtch of g-ir-compiler:
$ g-ir-compiler --shared-library=libbaboon.so.1

This should crash.

Can this be closed? It seems as i it is enough to pass the library to g-ir-compiler. See bug 656893.
Comment 4 Philip Withnall 2011-09-14 16:23:45 UTC 
There's also bug #585116. It would be nice if Vala added the attribute and automatically worked out the right libtool filename for the library; see bug #658002.
