Project go-gir-generator implements GObject-introspection based bindings generator for Go.
There are many Go bindings of GObject/Gtk libraries out there, but almost all of them are written by hand. It's boring and error-prone since the corresponding C library may change very often. go-gir-generator can adapt to the newest version of GObject without changing one single line of code, which makes it less painful to write Go code with GObject.
NOTE: Currently it only supports GObject-2.0, Glib-2.0, Gio-2.0, support of Gdk/Gtk is not completed.
Many thanks to the genius guys who created the GObject Introspection and the original author nsf.
- golang 1.3 above
- pkg-config

Install prerequisites
$ sudo apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev libgudev-1.0-dev
$ make install
The binary program gir-generator is the static binding code generator. It read the GIRepository and template files from lib.in directory.
For example, we need generate gobject-2.0 binding,
cd lib.in/gobject-2.0
gir-generator -o . gobject.go.in
Note: deepin generate all bindings under $GOPATH/src/gir/$PackageName.
