Title:
configure or patch gobject-introspection to include /usr/local in
typelib search path
Status in GObject Introspection:
Confirmed
Status in gobject-introspection package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Ubuntu includes /usr/local/lib in the library search path via a file
in /etc/ld.so.conf.d, and also configures pkg-config to look for .pc
files in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. But gobject-introspection's built-
in search path looks for type libraries only in /usr, not in
/usr/local. That's inconsistent: I can install shared libraries in
/usr/local and programs will find them, but their type libraries will
not be found.
For consistency, I think Ubuntu should set the default gobject-
introspection search path to include /usr/local/lib/girepository-1.0.
It would be nice if gobject-introspection had a configure option that
could set that (see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699331). In the meantime,
it wouldn't be hard to patch gobject-introspection to set the default
path; see init_globals() in girepository.c.
