> Actually, Python is not used unless ''--enable-introspection'' is passed
to configure. The current book instructions don't pass it, and gobject-
introspection is deemed optional. We may want to change to recommend g-i,
but right now, I'd say the patch is not needed.
Ah, I see we have a sed for libical, although libical is optional too...
But trying to use --enable-introspection leads to:
{{{
GISCAN Abi-3.0.gir
Couldn't find include 'Gsf-1.gir' (search path: '['/usr/share/gir-1.0',
'/usr/share/gir-1.0', '/usr/share/gir-1.0', '/usr/share/gir-1.0']' )
}}}
So it seems libgsf needs ''--enable-introspection'', too. I do not know
how many other packages do not use automatically introspection if it is
present...
