Problems with gtk-unit-converter

[zbyszek]

I tried to test gtk-unit-converter from
opendylan-2019.1/sources/app/gtk-unit-converter

dylan-compiler -build gtk-unit-converter.lid

and received error in gobject library.
The diagnostics is as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
...
Computing code models for library gobject

/opt/opendylan-2019.1/sources/gtk/gobject-dylan/gobject.dylan:2092:
Error - Unresolved C-function parameter type, <object>, in the
definition of g-signal-set-va-marshaller.
--------
input parameter va_marshaller_ :: <object> /* <C-XXX-interface>

Exiting with return code -1
------------------------------------------------------------------

The culprit seems to be <object>. it occurs nowhere else in this
library. I tried to replace it with <GObject>, which probably didn't
make sense - diagnostics disappeared, but final stayed the same.

This was tested on Linux Debian from 2017 with gcc 6.3.0 and on
Linux PLD, results were the same.

Is it a known error or am I doing something wrong? (I haven't used Dylan
for some time, this is reactivation).

I don't know the answer unfortunately but I do see the same errors as you. It might be better if you asked on Gitter (https://gitter.im/dylan-lang/general) - Bruce Mitchener is active there and I think he was the last to work on GTK.
