It's part of the GLib product at GNOME's bugzilla[0], select the
"introspection" component in that form.
As you're to my knowledge the first person to try spells' FFI
abstraction on OS X, you'll have to tweak
"systems/spells/foreign/config.sls.in" to account for the new platform
(in the `c-type-alignof' function):
When running sbank's testsuite (or spells', for that matter), you should
encounter an error by c-type-alignof: "unknown target", with your
platform's target as single irritant. I think just adding the reported
target to the first `cond' branch should work for OS X (from what I can
tell from the links at [1]):
(define c-type-alignof
(let ((target '("#!@(host-info os)"
"#!@(host-info cpu)")))
(cond
((member target '(("linux-gnu" "x86_64") <<OS-X-targets-go-here>>))
c-type-sizeof)
((member target '(("linux-gnu" "i686")))
(lambda (type)
(let ((size (c-type-sizeof type)))
(if (= size 8)
4
size))))
(else
(error 'c-type-alignof "unknown target" target))))))
