Re: [Vala] vapigen ignores .metadata

Thanks, it works as expected.
But I were reading other manual:
http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Manual/GIDL%20metadata%20format
Since it was mention in:
http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Bindings
What is the different between this two "metadata" formats?

Thanks
Tal

I try to create a binding from GNOME official PanelApplet-4.0.gir to libpanelapplet-4.0.vapi.

Vapi generation success, but the header file name is wrong(always "PanelApplet-4.0.h"). I tried to change it 
by adding a new file named "libpanelapplet-4.0.metadata" in the same directory:



PanelApplet cheader_filename="libpanel-applet/panel-applet.h"



But it didn't change anything in the vapi file.

This is my command(based on what you gave me in this mailing list):



vapigen --metadatadir . --pkg gtk+-3.0 --library libpanelapplet-4.0 PanelApplet-4.0.gir



What am I doing wrong?

As per http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Manual/GIR%20metadata%20format :
"The filename of a metadata for a SomeLib.gir must be SomeLib.metadata."


Therefore, it must be PanelApplet-4.0.metadata .
