hi!,
Vala looks like a great solution. To move forward, however, I need a bit more info. I've looked on the Vala site, but haven't found this info. Unless I missed something obvious, you might want to put the answers to these questions in a place where newbies can find it. (Possibly the FAQ) Here goes:1) Is there a binary download for Vala? If so, where is it?
http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Release
2) What other libraries are needed to use the core Vala? And where are they available?Vala compiler and VAPI files (assci files). This VAPI files are the representation for a real C library. You will need that C library. For example the VAPI files of GTK need a GTK installation in your computer.
3) One thing that appears in the Ref manual but in a way that seems somewhat unclear is how to write a library in Vala. What are the syntactical elements that identify a given source file as being part of a given library.VALA compiles C source code and after machine code using this C code. You could create C source code to compile libraries, but i hope in future releases help to build complex application in VALA without use C code..
valac -C vala_file.vala
I am excited at the prospect of testing out Vala.
VALA rocks! regards.
TIA for your help. ---D _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list Vala-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
