Description Travis Reitter 2011-04-21 22:34:35 UTC 
Reviewing a patch for bug #648161 (attachment #186393 [details]), I couldn't figure out why the .gir file wasn't being generated.

Because we use the automake support for Vala, the libfolks library name is determined implicitly by valac. However, this means that the --gir flag is ignored. Adding --library=folks worked around this.

The compiler should fill in the implied name or at least exit with an error that it must be specified.
