Unable to parse GLib

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to janearate glib.h on Linux Ubuntu 9.04
2. Set up Maven project with the following config values:
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/linux
-I/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3/include -library Gtk
/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h
3. Run the Maven JNAerator plugin

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected to get a JAR with GLib bindings. 
Instead get:

Hi jacek,

Thanks for your report :)
If there is really no source generated in /media/My 
Passport/Jacek/Dev/Scala/gtk4j/target/generated-sources/java, could you please 
try 
adding the "-v" verbosity switch to your JNAerator command ?

Thanks

yes, there is no source :-(

Here is the attached output with the verbosity switch on

P.S. As you may have guessed, my aim is to try to generate bindings for the 
whole
GTK+ stack, i.e. glib, gobject, pango and last but not least the gtk+ UI 
toolkit.

Hehe, I did hope that someone would take on that heavy task !
You're gonna need to inspect the _jnaerator.preprocessed.c file : it contains 
the 
result of the preprocessing pass.
You can then copy-paste gradually larger portions of this file into JNAerator 
Studio 
and see what it outputs.
This way, you should be able to identify the code that breaks everything...
(and if you attach this file here, I'll be able to help too :-))

Yeah, the problem is that my C knowledge is ZERO (can you say I am way out of my
league here?). I know the Java-GNOME project uses JNI and unfortunately they are
often behind on features (e.g. no support for GtkBuilder yet).

OK, I will try the pre-processor support and keep posting updates in this 
defect.

I almost forgot...
Had to deal with a few GLib issues when I wrapped the Mono library.
You should try taking some arguments from this .jnaerator file :

.base.j

Put them in, not much of a difference. This seems to be the core issue right 
now:

Failed to convert define 'G_CSET_LATINS => "\337\340\341\342\343\344\345\346"
"\347\350\351\352\353\354\355\356\357\360" "\361\362\363\364\365\366"

"\330\331\332\333\334\335\336":

is that in jnaerator or in the C parser you use?

Hi, any updates on this? Would you have any pointers on what I could do 
successfully 
generate the Glib bindings? thank you

Hi Jacek,
I'll be getting to GLib parsing probably at the beginning of next week, I've 
been very 
busy with Maven changes lately...
Stay tuned :)
Cheers
