There is some stuff included in that tarball that would not need to be in the repo. The
entire doc/reference/html directory should be removed. Also all of the files in the build
directory should be removed. Of course there are some obvious things that would not be
needed in the repository like any Makefile.in file, the configure script, and the
aclocal.m4 file. The tarball I sent was generated by "make distcheck." It would be
possible to not include most of the *.cc and *.h files in poppler-glib/poppler-glibmm
(those generated from the *.ccg and *.hg files in poppler-glib/src), but it would be best
to include those as they are only generated when the corresponding *.ccg and *.hg files
are changed.

Although it is not generated from the gir files, for the most part all
you have to do is tell gmmproc what to name the c++ classes and methods,
and which c objects and methods they are derived from. Then the actual
c++ code is generated. There were not many cases that needed hand
coding. The hardest part was converting your poppler-glib demo to use
gtkmm and my poppler-glibmm library. Of course there is no automatic
way to do that.
As I understand it there is some work by the gtkmm devs to do some of
the conversion work from the gir files, but I think that is to replace
the clumsy defs file generation that is currently used. Not to replace
the hg and ccg file creation, from which files the actual code is
generated.
In any case, I have attached a tarball of the code.
Wow there's lots of stuff in there, what parts are autogenerated? I.e. would
we need all those files in the repo? or just parts?
Cheers,

Sad :-/
It uses
the standard method that glib libraries are wrapped via gmmproc. There
is some maintenance involved as with any library, but generally not that
much. gmmproc uses macros that automate the wrapping of most things.
There are some things that the macros don't properly handle and so they
have to be hand coded.
Oh :-(
I am willing to maintain it, and will make it
available somewhere else if you are not interested. I could attach a
tarball of the source if you want to take a look.
Well, let's see how much code and let's see if someone mentions they are
interested in the feature. I am not pro nor against it at the moment.
Cheers,
Albert

I have created a library that wraps the poppler-glib library using
glibmm/gtkmm's gmmproc. I don't know if you are interested in this. I
am
not sure where to make this available to the public. It would be
somewhat
nice to have it at freedesktop.org so that it is together with poppler.
If
you are interested it could even be integrated in with the rest of
poppler.
I would even be willing to pass the code off to you. I did this for
purely educational purposes of my own. Although it would be nice to
share
the result.
If you are not interested I will probably make it available via
SourceForge.>>
If you would like to take a look at what I have that would be great
too.
How much code is it? And more importantly, how much maintaince it needs?
Is it automagically generated from the gir thing?
Cheers,
Albert
