Re: Not able to contruct GLib.Thread

["Alan Knowles" <alan roojs com>]

In my gir file g_thread_new is flagged as not introspectable
 introspectable="0"

In theory you could try changing that to '1' and rebuilding the typelib with g-ir-compiler, however I suspect there will be serious issues in using threads with the interpreter.

For MainLoop - have a look at this (it's in seed, but should be reasonably portable to gjs)

http://git.roojs.org/?p=gitlive;a=blob;f=Spawn.js

That code as a whole does an async system call, and runs a mainloop to wait for the return result.

I presume you found this - although not perfect it does help alot..
