0001-Ship-introspection.m4-and-add-m4-to-the-include-path.patch

Hi,
attached patch fixes the search for introspection.m4 by including it in GIT and adding the m4 include path to autogen.sh
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2010-01-13 08:08:52 UTC 
Actually a packaging problem, introspection.m4 should be installed by gobject-introspection into the system-wide m4 include directory.

I would reopen this one as it's wrong to assume gobject-introspection will be present even with totem-pl-parser will be build without introspection support but m4 file will still be needed if we need to run autoreconf after changing anything in Makefile.am or configure.ac (as noted downstream at: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355979 )
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2011-02-22 18:43:45 UTC 
Try recompiling a GNOME module without gnome-common installed, or pkg-config... I rest my case.
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2011-02-22 19:04:27 UTC 
But why require installation of gobject-introspection simply to provide a .m4 file? Wouldn't be better to split it or include it in gnome-common? 

Anyway, per https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633730#c15 looks like a solution should appear soon
Comment 5 Gilles Dartiguelongue 2011-02-22 22:37:25 UTC 
As I said in the anjuta bug report, we spoke to release team. We will provide a patch to gnome-common so that autogen.sh does the copy like it does for libtool, gtk-doc, etc.
