[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add a way to test GObject-Introspection GIR generation (#1104)

[Matthew Brush]

It would be useful to make it easier to view the effects of changes to the Doxygen comments and API code on GIR output.

I was thinking adding a rule to `doc/Makefile.am` something conceptually like this, but with correct `g-ir-scanner` arguments as mentioned in #1094 and correct automake usage:

```diff
diff --git a/doc/Makefile.am b/doc/Makefile.am
index de5caaf..717fd6d 100644
--- a/doc/Makefile.am
+++ b/doc/Makefile.am

+               --warn-all -o $@ geany-gtkdoc.h
+
 endif
```

Which could be used for testing purposes like:

```bash
$ make -C doc geany-api.gir
```
