Description Ben Boeckel 2015-09-10 12:25:58 UTC 
Using a library definition here: https://github.com/sardemff7/eventd/blob/master/server/libeventd-event/libeventd-event.mk#L51 g-ir-scanner, as of 1.45.4 no longer accepts the -D flag as given there, instead erroring out that "G_LOG_DOMAIN=\"libeventd-event\"" is not a file:

  GISCAN   EventdEvent-0.gir
gcc: error: G_LOG_DOMAIN="libeventd-event": No such file or directory

Seems to have regressed in 1.45.4 based on the results here: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/mathstuf/eventd/build/111004/

Probably regressed by ad8fc51441b331c7db573201dd283a423081c042:

commit ad8fc51441b331c7db573201dd283a423081c042

    sourcescanner.py: Use Distutils for Preprocessing
    
    Add a preprocess() function in ccompiler.py so that it will call the
    preprocess() method of the distutils.ccompiler class, and make use of it
    from sourcescanner.py.
    
    As we would need to set up the options (include paths, macros, undefs) to
    pass into the preprocessor (and later for the compiler), we have a new
    private function that translates what we have from the rest of giscanner so
    that it could be passed to distutils.ccompiler in a way that it
    understands.
    
    Also, as the MSVCCompiler classes in distutils do not provide a
    preprocess() implementation, we provide our own so that we can use it when
    preprocessing, via distutils, through subclassing MSVCCompiler.

Should have been fixed in bug 753428, attachment 310841 [details] [review], which has been pushed to master and will be in the next release.

Please, reopen if you can reproduce with master.
