[GTK] JSCore.gir.in has a few problems

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Martin Robinson]

There are a few issues with the JSCore.gir.in. It's essentially a stub file that enables introspection of APIs, but is mostly incomplete. JavaScriptCore isn't a GObject API, which suggests that using it will lead to memory errors. Instead it should likely be a "foreign" library defined like https://git.gnome.org/browse/gobject-introspection/tree/gir/cairo-1.0.gir.in. It references the libwebkitgtk library when it should really be referencing libjavascriptcoregtk.

Nice cleanup!

Now that gir_DATA and typelibs_DATA are common and global, I wonder if we could simply add CLEANFILES += $(gir_DATA) $(typelibs_DATA) to the main makefile and we don't need to do it for every GIR.

This is no longer needed? Have you checked this patch doesn't break distcheck?

I wonder if we'll need to split the introspection bits of the main makefile up for that -- one before the includes and one after.

'make dist' is broken at the moment, but I double-checked that Source/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCore.gir.in was in DIST_COMMON in the makefile. If AC_CONFIG_FILE doesn't automatically dist the source files, we'd need to put the other files used in AC_CONFIG_FILES in EXTRA_DIST as well.
