Description Aleksander Morgado 2010-11-18 10:03:27 UTC 
Since commit http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=a7923a4aa3ff6d67672c6c69cd1b7d70fba9c57d in glib/gio for the new GApplication implementation, Devhelp git master won't compile properly as it uses the old API.
Comment 1 Aleksander Morgado 2010-11-18 14:55:58 UTC 
Started a new branch in gnome git to fix this:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/devhelp/log/?h=new-gapplication-api

So far, it compiles properly, but still have some issues with the types of GVariant parameters passed between the current and remote instances.
Comment 2 Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2010-11-22 22:11:18 UTC 
Why not using GtkApplication instead?

That was decided in bug 624197

Aleksander, did you make any progress on this? I had a look and probably I see the same issue as you, when passing a string (with --search for example), it fails because it receives a GVariant of type 'v' instead of type 's'; but I couldn't debug further.
