# gir2glade

gir2glade is an XSL Transform for creating a [glade](https://glade.gnome.org)

catalog from a [gobject-introspection](200~https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GObjectIntrospection?action=show&redirect=GObjectIntrospection)

gir file.

It can be used on any gir file with any XSLT processor.

# Purpose

gir2glade was written because I didn't want to have to maintain a glade catalog

especially when all of the data is already in the gir files being built as part

of my projects.

With it, you can add a build target to your build system that depends on your

gir and have it create the catalog and install it into the proper place.

# License

GPLv3

# Command Line Usage

The following will create the glade catalog and output it to stdout.

```

xsltproc gir2glade.xsl GtkIM-0.0.gir

```

You can save it to a file with

```

xsltproc gir2glade.xsl GtkIM-0.0.gir > gtkim.xml

```

Then add the path you wrote it to to glade's catalog search path and you're set!

# Meson Usage

Below is a quick HOWTO, to generate the catalog with meson. You may need to

tweak the path of `gir2glade.xsl` as it's assumed to be in the root of your

source directory.

This is spread a couple of files, but it can be found in the

[GtkIM](https://bitbucket.org/rw_grim/gtkim) source tree.

```

GLADEUI = dependency('gladeui-2.0', version: '>=3.0.0')

XSLTPROC = find_program('xsltproc', required : true)

GIR2GLADE = files('gir2glade.xsl')

gtkim_gir = gnome.generate_gir(gtkim,

sources : GTKIM_SOURCES + GTKIM_HEADERS +

GTKIM_PUBLIC_BUILT_SOURCES +

GTKIM_PUBLIC_BUILT_HEADERS,

includes : ['GModule-2.0', 'GObject-2.0', 'Gtk-3.0'],

namespace : 'GtkIM',

symbol_prefix : 'gtkim',

nsversion : '@0@.0'.format(GTKIM_MAJOR_VERSION),

install : true)

gtkim_glade_catalog = custom_target('gtkim.xml',

output : 'gtkim.xml',

input : [gtkim_gir[0], GIR2GLADE],

command : [XSLTPROC, '--output', '@OUTPUT@', '@INPUT1@', '@INPUT0@'],

install : true,

install_dir : GLADEUI.get_pkgconfig_variable('catalogdir'))
