Re: [ruby-gnome2-devel-en] Using GObject-Introspection

[cedlemo <ce...@gm...>]

Hi Michael,

I am not  really an advanced contributor but Kouhei Sutou (which is the 
maintainer of ruby-gnome2) is busy at the moment so I will try to give 
you some hints.

There is not yet a good documentation. The best informations that you 
could find I think should be in the unit tests :

https://github.com/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2/blob/master/gobject-introspection/test/

Have a look at the vte3 module which is really simple and follow the 
most common way to use GObjectIntrospection.

https://github.com/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2/tree/master/vte3

and especially this file

https://github.com/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2/blob/master/vte3/lib/vte3.rb
