This is probably caused by your distribution renaming the valac binary 
to valac-0.14, which is done so that multiple versions of valac can be 
installed in parallel. The solution is to set the VALAC environment 
variable. The easiest way to do this is by exporting the variable, 
giving the full path to the valac binary:

export VALAC=/usr/bin/valac-0.14
./autogen.sh
make
