Re: making a release

[Andrew Miloradovsky <miloradovsky gmail com>]

So I'm trying to perform `make distcheck` and get the error about
`g_type_init` just like this:

- https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782227

but I cannot fix it as there, since the C source is generated by Automake.

So I try this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2,35,0)
SCANGOBJ_OPTIONS=--type-init-func=""
else
SCANGOBJ_OPTIONS=--type-init-func="g_type_init ();"
endif

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Which (of course) fails since I'm not allowed to use the parentheses
(apparently).

I'm not very familiar with the Autotools, and should RTFM about the
conditionals, but still how do I do it?
