Provide simple example

[gavr123456789]

I am not familiar with all this and would like to try using third-party GObject libraries from D (other than gtkd).

It would be useful to have a simple example here using an GObject(from C or Vala) with multiple properties and functions from D GObject.

The simplest example of using girtod would be:

girtod -i GMenu-3.0.gir

where GMenu-3.0.gir can be just the name of the gir file of the library, which is then searched for in the know gir repository, of it can be a full path to the gir file.

For a more involved example where some manual intervention is needed to get a working binding you could look at AtkD: https://github.com/gtkd-developers/AtkD

❯ ls
 build.ninja            'girtod@exe'/        meson-logs/          TestShared-0.1.typelib
 compile_commands.json   libTestShared.so*   meson-private/       VERSION
 girtod*                 meson-info/         TestShared-0.1.gir

❯ set -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH .
❯ set -x GI_TYPELIB_PATH .
❯ ./girtod -i .
Error: APILookup.txt not found, check '--help' for more information.
❯ ./girtod -i TestShared-0.1.gir
Error: GIR file: '/usr/share/gir-1.0/TestShared-0.1.gir' not found.

What am I doing wrong?

gittod doesn't currently use the environment variables.

The easiest in this case would probably be to specify the path to the gir file:

./girtod -i ./TestShared-0.1.gir
