Re: libseed-list GLib.main_loop_new()

[tomw <tomw ubilix com>]

thanks, I finally succeeded with another solution: I moved
gobject-introspection to 0.9.12 to be able to use clutter, cluttergst,
json etc. with their 1.2 gir files. The missing part still was the
GLib-2.0.gir which surprisingly marked the essential
GLib.main_loop_new() with  introspectable="0". So I changed the
respective section in GLib-2.0.gir (provided with gobject-introspection)
into: 

<function name="main_loop_new"
              c:identifier="g_main_loop_new">
      <return-value transfer-ownership="full">
        <type name="MainLoop" c:type="GMainLoop*"/>
      </return-value> 
      <parameters>
        <parameter name="context" transfer-ownership="none"
allow-none="1">
          <type name="MainContext" c:type="GMainContext*"/>
        </parameter>
        <parameter name="is_running" transfer-ownership="none">
          <type name="gboolean" c:type="gboolean"/>
        </parameter>
      </parameters>
    </function>

and compiled the typelib from that. Using this, the mainloop can be
launched and hence the DBus infrastructure can be used. I'm not sure
whether I'm missing something, but so far it works just fine.

Best, tomw
