I did a git clone and I've run into an issue with my make. The mentioned vapi files all appear to be in place & I just re-built geary-0.2.2 without issue. I played around a bit with things like XDG_DATA_DIRS and I'm still having the problem. I'm not abundantly familiar with nuances of valac or cmake. Any pointers? I'm using valac-0.18.1 and have XDG_DATA_DIRS set with the appropriate path.

Hi,

You didn't mention what distro you're using.  If you're on Ubuntu 12.04+ try installing libgirepository1.0-dev.  I'm not entirely certain what this package maps to on other distros.

In addition, you may need to do a make clean.
