Yes, it seems that 'clutter-1.0.vapi' was accidentally included without
the metadata information an in a very raw state without any tweaking.
Ali Sabil (asabil) has started a launchpad project as a new beginning for
Clutter bindings, this time with metadata:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~asabil/+junk/clutter-vala-1.0/files
At the same time I was assembling a patch with lots of fixes for the raw
'clutter-1.0.vapi' without knowing about his project:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598778
What needs to be done now is to merge this patch into his project, but in
the form of metadata. I wanted to do that but I didn't find enough time
during the last weeks. Of course, any help is appreciated.
I have attached a Vala port of a little demo program that would work with
my patch.
Best regards,
