request package: gobject-introspection

[NTBBloodbath]

Package description
gobject-introspection is a middleware layer between C libraries (using GObject) and language bindings. The C library can be scanned at compile time and generate metadata files, in addition to the actual native C library. Then language bindings can read this metadata and automatically provide bindings to call into the C library. It's additionally a dependency for building web browsers using GTK+ (like Midori for example).

Additional information
I successfully compiled his dependencies (including gtk-doc) on my device without any trouble.

I tried to compile gobject-introspection, but I was having some troubles with installing path (I'm not an expert with that, so I could only try what was within my reach).

The error is this below (I tried changing prefix and libdir but I get the same result)

files = [f for f in os.listdir(d) if f.endswith('.so') and os.path.isfile(os.path.join(d, f))]

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/data/data/com.termux/files/lib'

Gobject-introspection dependencies list

• meson (python)
• mako (python)
• markdown (python)
• distutils (python, doesn't require installation, because it already comes by default in Python3)
• autoconf_archive (I think you can use autoconf instead of that)
• gtk-doc (requires ninja and meson)

There's the source code to build gtk-doc package (a required dependency as I know)
gtk-doc

To install it you must need to build using auto. Using meson to build is displaying some errors.
