[java-gnome-hackers] Create a Nautilus binding

[Jack H. <jac...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

I was thinking about creating a Nautilus binding, but couldn't find any
tutorial about how to get started with writing my own binding.  I read some
source code and tried putting some .defs files (created by 'demux
nautilus.defs') in the src/defs directory.  The new files got picked up and
I saw some .c and .java source files created in the 'generated' directory.
First it complained about some nautilus types are not defined, I figured
that 'import-header' was missing from the .defs files.  It seemed that I was
on the right track, but I got stuck at one particular file
'generated/bindings/org/gnome/nautilus/NautilusFileInfo.c' complaining
"NautilusFileInfo undeclared".  I looked at the generated .c file, it
doesn't have the #include line generated for the header file that I added to
its .defs file.  Other generated .c files all have the proper header files
included according to their .defs files, but not this one.  So my questions
are:

1) Is there a tutorial for creating bindings?
2) Am I on the right track?
3) Why the header file isn't included?


Thanks in advance!
