please do not commit generated files to source control about gtkd HOT 10 OPEN

I was using Gstreamer version 1.16. But it should be fixed now:

gtkd-developers/gir-to-d@1004768

from gtkd.

Historically the generated source files have been in source control, when i started working on GtkD the generated source files had some hand edited changes.
To Easily update GtkD to newer versions of Gtk these changes were moved in to the wrapper/generator.

The following files are auto generated:

• build/gtkD.d
• src/*
• srcsv/*
• srcgda/*
• srcgstreamer/*

To generate these files follow the following steps:

Change to the wrap directory:
cd wrap
Download the documentation and create the symlinks:
./downloadFiles.sh
Build the wrapper:
make
Generate the source (The wrapper expects to be run from the wrap directory):
./gtkwrap

One thing to take into account is that the wrapper needs to be build with D2 while the generated sources also support D1 and Tango.

ping on this issue: it's really bad to have generated code checked in git; furthermore, src/ really doesn't convey it's auto genenratd; how about at least move everything generated under a directory called autogenerated ?
I guess my last pull #172 also wrongly modified stuff in src?

I've moved the generated code into a separate directory named generated.

There are three things left to do to be able to remove the generated code from the repo:

• Correctly detect the location of the gir files on supported platforms.
• Add versioning support to the APILookup files so it doesn't only work with the latest GTK version.
• Figure out how this setup would work in combination with dub.

Regenerating when building currently works, except bindings for gstreamer (generated with 1.14) doesn't build:

generated/gstreamer/gst/mpegts/ISO639LanguageDescriptor.d(107): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (*this.gstMpegtsISO639LanguageDescriptor).audioType of type GstMpegtsIso639AudioType[64] to GstMpegtsIso639AudioType*[64]
generated/gstreamer/gst/mpegts/ISO639LanguageDescriptor.d(113): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression value of type GstMpegtsIso639AudioType*[64] to GstMpegtsIso639AudioType[]

Which version of gir-to-d are you using? This error should be fixed with v0.19.1.

from gtkd.

I'm using git master.. though maybe that build was using whatever's bundled with gtkd-3.8.5

from gtkd.

The GtkD makefile doesn't build the bundled gir-to-d if it can find it on the system.
If this is the case you can check the version with: girtod --version

from gtkd.

Yeah, it's definitely master, GIR to D v0.19.1-4-g2961742+.

Thanks!
