NAME

       gi-compile-repository - Typelib compiler

SYNOPSIS

       gi-compile-repository [OPTION…] GIRFILE

DESCRIPTION

       gi-compile-repository  converts  one  or  more  GIR  files into one or more typelibs.  The
       output will be written to standard output unless the --output is specified.

       On Debian-derived systems, each architecture provides a version  of  gi-compile-repository
       prefixed    with    the   DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE   from   dpkg-architecture(1),   for   example
       arm-linux-gnueabihf-gi-compile-repository.    These   architecture-prefixed   names    use
       appropriate   search   paths   for  the  given  architecture,  and  should  be  used  when
       cross-compiling.  Please see  file:///usr/share/doc/gobject-introspection/README.Debian.gz
       for more details.

OPTIONS

       --help Show help options.

       --output FILENAME, -o FILENAME
              Save the resulting output in FILENAME.

       --verbose
              Show verbose messages.

       --debug
              Show debug messages.

       --includedir DIRECTORY
              Add  DIRECTORY  to  the search path for GIR XML.  This option can be used more than
              once.  The first DIRECTORY on the command-line  will  be  searched  first  (highest
              precedence).

       --shared-library FILENAME, -l FILENAME
              Specifies  the  shared  library  where the symbols in the typelib can be found. The
              name of the library should not contain the  ending  shared  library  suffix.   This
              option  can be used more than once, for typelibs that describe more than one shared
              library.

       --version
              Show program’s version number and exit.

EXAMPLE

       ::     $ gi-compile-repository -o Gio-2.0.typelib /usr/share/gir-1.0/Gio-2.0.gir
