1. Introduction
This patchset adds support for gobject introspection to oe-core.
Gir files go to -dev packages, typelib files go to main packages
(they are packaged together with libraries that are
introspected).
The work is based on a meta-gir layer, which was used as a proof of
concept; overall approach is same and some implementation ideas were
used, but this implementation is otherwise different, and hopefully
simpler and cleaner.
2. 30 second tutorial for adding introspection support to a package:
a. Inherit gobject-introspection class (or a class that inherits it,
such as gnome-base).
b. Make sure introspection is not disabled anywhere in the recipe or
its includes.
c. Try to build the recipe; if this results in build errors that look
like something is unable to find .so libraries, check where these libraries
are in the source tree and add GIR_EXTRA_LIBS_PATH=${B}/something/.libs
to the recipe.
c. Any other errors probably mean that introspection support in a package
is not entirely standard, and breaks down in a cross-compilation environment.
Custom-made fixing is needed then.
3. How to verify that introspection works in an image:
a. Build core-image-sato.
b. Start terminal, start python3 in the terminal.
c. Type out something like:
>>> from gi.repository import GLib
>>> GLib.get_host_name()
d. Also, try something more advanced, for example:
http://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/introduction.html
4. Request for testing - I would like this patchset to be checked on three
levels:
a. Test it in all of the build environments you have. Let me know any errors
or warnings. Also let me know, if some package can be built with introspection
enabled, but is not.
b. Check the patchset for correct use of Yocto idioms. It touches a lot of
things
in a lot of different ways, and maybe there are better ways to do what it does.
c. Check that the overall design is sensible: how things work is hopefully
explained in comments and commit messages.
5. Known issues:
- there is no way to globally switch off the whole thing at the moment;
this should probably be a DISTRO_FEATURE (also see the next item)
- qemu-ppc64 crashes out immediately; so anything that supports introspection
cannot be built on that architecture:
Invalid data memory access: 0x00000040d89c5008
...
- gcr introspection is disabled in x86_64, because introspection helper binary
goes into an infinite loop under qemu (on that architecture only).
- gcr and libsecret introspection is disabled in mips64, because introspection
helper
binary fails an assertion in libgpg-error
- webkit introspection is disabled in powerpc, because qemu-ppc crashes out when
running g-ir-compiler
- the patchset has not been tested with layers in meta-oe; just making oe-core
build without errors on all standard architectures has been a big, long task.
- the whole thing should be documented in Yocto manuals
