Re: [gnome-db] How to build libgda and use it with Vala

Hello,

There was a recent fix for that (I guess on master); I hope Vivien Malerba
will join this thread on how to use it. Meanwhile, if you cannot go with a
system-wide installation (assuming you are on a Linux box), you may want to
modify the configure.ac file and change all occurence of 0.26 to 0.30.

Best,
Gergely

Thanks Gergely and Daniel,

I have Vala-0.29.2 on Linux Mint Mate which I have installed from source
using the standard

*./configure*

*make*

*sudo make install*

vala, valac, vapicheck and vapigen are all in /usr/local/bin and
libvala-0.30.so.0.0.0 is in /usr/local/lib

When I run the command you have suggested

./autogen.sh --enable-vala --enable-vala-extensions

The script halts with the following error:

*checking for vapigen vapigen-0.26... no*
*configure: Searching for vapigen-0.26 program...*
*checking for vapigen-0.26... no*
*configure: error: Can't locate vapigen-0.26 >= 0.26.0 program*

It does not seem to accept vapigen-0.30 as > vapigen-0.26.0

I created a symlink as vapigen-0.26.0 and that got me past this error but
then I got a similar error message for libvala and the symlink trick
wouldn't work for that. Is it a bug or did I do something wrong?

Regards

Steve
