[Vala] telepathy-glib vapi problems

["pHilipp Zabel" <philipp zabel gmail com>]

Hi,

I'm new to Vala, and I'd like to have bindings for telepathy-glib. Has
anybody worked on this already?
I tried to make some and did not succeed because gen-introspect somehow
freaks out on the telepathy-glib includes.
Problem: telepathy-glib/_gen/*.h are not shielded against multiple
inclusion with #ifdefs. But they are not supposed to be included
directly anyway (they are all included from telepathy-glib/*.h). So I
exclude the telepath-glib/_gen/*.h files:

This way vala-gen-introspect finishes without throwing errors, but the
resulting .gi file does not contain the contents of the
telepathy-glib/_gen/*.h files. An example:

$ /usr/lib/vala/gen-introspect -U__GNUC__ `pkg-config --cflags
telepathy-glib`
/usr/include/telepathy-1.0/telepathy-glib/_gen/tp-svc-channel.h

returns 108 methods, while

$ /usr/lib/vala/gen-introspect -U__GNUC__ `pkg-config --cflags
telepathy-glib`
/usr/include/telepathy-1.0/telepathy-glib/svc-channel.h

returns none at all, even tough telepathy-glib/svc-channel.h does
nothing but #include <telepathy-glib/_gen/tp-svc-channel.h>.
Probably I am doing something wrong? Or is gen-introspect?
Or are we both?

cheers
