[Gtk-sharp-list] task list

[Jeremy Wells]

ok, i found the generator readme and tried to do as it said, i created
an xml file for libwnck:

<gapi-parser-input>
<api filename="api/wnck-api.raw">
<library name="libwnck-1.so.4">
<namespace name="Wnck">
<dir>libwnck-2.4.0.1/libwnck</dir>
</namespace>
</library>
</api>
</gapi-parser-input>

and then ran gapi-parser libwnck.xml and a lot of numbers n stuff
flashes past as it runs, but then it exits with the following error:

 at /usr/local/bin/gapi2xml.pl line 852, <STDIN> line 1621.
I/O warning : failed to load external entity "api/wnck-api.raw.pre"
 
** (process:12377): WARNING **: File api/wnck-api.raw.pre empty or not
well-formed.

it doesn't matter how i change the location of the api filename or
anything, it always comes out with the same error.

am i doing something wrong or am i barking up the wrong tree completely
trying to do it like this?
