I failed to find a solution to a similar problem, as for example GTK\_TYPE\_TREE\_PATH is defined and exposed by gtk (it is a boxed type, as GKeyFile is)… – Guillaume C. - [http://zarb.org/~gc/](http://zarb.org/~gc/) ---

> You can change Ruby/GLib2 to export G\_TYPE\_KEY\_FILE. Ok. I am not sure about actual code, because I haven’t found a .h where it made sense to add it close to other equivalent things. I came up with that patch though in rbglib.h it looks a bit awkward next to the rest of the content. WDYT? ---

Please commit the patch with glib2.def update. ## Thanks, kou ---

Please commit the patch with glib2.def update. I missed it partially because I did test, and it was successful. Is it really needed? seems that the symbol is already exported: # objdump -T glib2.so | grep g\_key\_file\_get\_type 00016f10 g DF .text 00000050 Base g\_key\_file\_get\_type – Guillaume C. - [Guillaume Cottenceau](http://zarb.org/~gc/)
