README

The bindinator installs a tool called bindinate, which can be called
with the name of a gir file to generate a binding project.

Example:

bindinate WebKit-3.0

If the package name in the gir file does not match the system package
(i.e., the .pc file), it can be supplied to bindinate.

Example:

bindinate WebKit-1.0 webkit-1.0

===== Extra cs code =====

If you want to extend/add code, you can add extra source files to the sources
list in Makefile.am

===== Extra package checks =====

The bindinate tool creates a directory of the same name as the supplied
gir file name and produces the needed files for compiling a binding.
Customization of the gapi output can be done via the usual metadata file.

If the build requires checking for extra packages and getting assembly
references, rules can be added by creating an m4 directory inside the
output directory and placing there all the needed checks. To include them
in the build, you need to create an m4.custom file which lists the
base name of every check.

Example:

m4.custom:
MONOCAIRO

m4/cairo.m4:
AC_DEFUN([CHECK_MONOCAIRO],
[
	PKG_CHECK_MODULES(MONOCAIRO, mono-cairo)
	AC_SUBST(MONOCAIRO_LIBS)
])


The bindinate tool will add a CHECK_MONOCAIRO call to configure.ac and
$(MONOCAIRO_LIBS) will be added to the assembly build line automatically.
