Description Adam Dingle 2013-04-30 15:27:34 UTC 
Today, gobject-introspection's default search path for type libraries consists of a single library directory (see init_globals() in girepository.c).  It would be nice if gobject-introspection had a compile-time configure option that let me specify a default search path consisting of multiple directories.  (This would be consistent with pkg-config, which lets me configure a similar path using --with-pc-path.)
