Add introspection support inside gtk+
Last modified: 2009-08-19 01:48:17 UTC
As part of the new gobject-introspection framework we should add support for building girs/typelibs directly into gtk+ itself. The girs should be shipped with tarballs. It's already done in bug 567394 for Pango, Atk+ will come up shortly.

Running this will generate this Gir on my system (only tested on X11, but should work on quartz/win32): http://www.gnome.org/~johan/Gtk-2.0.gir.gz Apart from bindings I know that Tristan wants to use the gir in Glade to know which version of Gtk+ introduced that property.
Looks ok to me. I guess that means I will from now on only be able to distcheck on systems which have gobject-introspection ?
Yes, to be able to do distcheck you'll need introspection installed and Atk/Pango installed with introspection support as well. That's why I think it'll take a while before we can solve this properly. I'm marking the patch as needs-work, as I have a m4 macro & shared makefile in the workings to reduce duplication between projects.
Let me know when this is ready to land.
