In this post I said I will get through the GLib Makefiles to add an enum type to GLib in a more sophisticated way.
In my other project,
SWE-GLib I already used this
method. The following two rules in Makefile.am create gswe-enumtypes.h
and gswe-enumtypes.c.
{% gist 1e2fdedb136de3ca67f0 Makefile %}
$(GLIB_MKENUMS) is set in configure with
AC_PATH_PROG([GLIB_MKENUMS], [glib-mkenums]).
This approach requires the GNU Autotools (you can get rid of it by changing
$(GLIB_MKENUMS) to the path to glib-mkenums binary), and two template
files, one for the header and one for the code. $(gswe_enum_headers)
contains a list of all the header files that have enum types defined
throughout the project.
