The standard practice for glib based libraries wrapped in this manner is to include those
files in the repo. However, it may be possible to modify the build system to generate
them every time.

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.
Hmmm, in my opinion including autogenerated stuff in the repo is asking for
problems, couldn't we just tell the make process to generate them as the rest
of autogenerated files are (e.g. moc files in the qt4 frontend)?

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?

The library is not automatically generated from the gir files.
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
