Re: [gtk-osx-users] gobject-introspection

[Pascal <p p14 orange fr>]

Thanks John for the tip.
In fact, I use Ada bindings of GTK+ named GTKAda.
The GPL 2013 release (libre.adacore.com) requires GTK+ 3.4.1 with several dependancies as 
gobject-introspection.
As there is no binary release for MacOS, I’ve built all by my self with lot of difficulties specially with 
gobject-introspection so my question…
You’re right I should have written $prefix/include.

Regards, Pascal.
