| Dear all, I am for the first trying to add support for gobject-introspection to one of my projects. After going through the docs and a lot of existing code for inspiration (graphene mostly), I seem to have gotten stuck as I keep getting "Unresolved type" and "Constructors must return an instance of their class" warnings for my boxed types, making the resulting typelib useless as all methods are non-introspectable. The project is rather large, but I have managed to come up with a minimal reproducer that can be found at https://gitlab.gnome.org/tschoonj/gi-test. From what I can tell from the gir file, it would appear that my boxed types are properly recognised, and matched with the corresponding *_get_type() functions. The methods that use these types however are only matched with the c:type and not the record name… Here is a dump of the gir file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- This file was automatically generated from C sources - DO NOT EDIT!

I am sure it This should do the trick: cd gi-test autoreconf -fi ./configure --enable-introspection make Many thanks in advance and best regards, Tom |
