Conversion tool to produce Gapi XML files from gir files. Description: ------------ This project hopes to take advantage of the gobject-introspection scanning of Gnome libraries to replace the GAPI parser. The goal is to produce Gapi XML files from a gir definition of the API, and then consume this output in the existing generation tools. It will amount to a preprocessing step but one that should eliminate parsing headaches and hopefully result in less manual intervention and markup in binding preparation. Build: ------ On mono, invoke xbuild in the project root dir, or open gapi2gir.sln with MonoDevelop. The project can also be build with Visual C# or Visual Studio on windows, or using msbuild without the IDE. Usage: ------ gapi2gir --gir=path/to/foo.gir --out=path/to/gapi.xml The tool is designed to spew warnings when it detects attributes or child elements it does not expect. Some of these will probably be unuseful. We intentionally ignore many of the attributes in gir. If you encounter any warnings, feel free to forward them to the project maintainer for investigation, particularly if it appears to be useful information being ignored.
