Need help: gir-generated tests fail?

[zaaarf]

I've tried several times, from scratch, but it still seems to fail.

I'm trying to generate the FFI library for libinsane. The result builds, but the tests pretty much all fail. A few examples from the error logs:

tests/layout.c:11:51: error: ‘LibinsaneApi’ undeclared (first use in this function)
   11 |     printf("%s;%zu;%zu\n", "LibinsaneApi", sizeof(LibinsaneApi), alignof(LibinsaneApi));
      |                                                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~
tests/constant.c: In function ‘main’:

I have built and installed the library succesfully (if ld can find it, why shouldn't gir?). I've had to edit the gir file to fix a couple minor issues, but nothing that should cause this sort of disruption.

Any idea on what could be causing this, or at least on where I could begin looking?

If it helps, I'm attaching my edited gir file. Everything else is pretty much a 1:1 of what the book does.

Hi, I had similar output and basically what helps is to add include of project header files to manual.h. Of course then I found that some types is in gir and not in header files, so it needs to be fixed upstream.

Yes, what @jreidinger said.

Usually that means the gir file doesn't contain all the necessary information to generate the tests
