[Geary] compilation help

[TC Meggs]

Hi Eric! Thank you for your response & I apologise for my lack of detail. I'm running Debian Wheezy/amd64. The package name for libgirepository1.0-dev is the same as with Ubuntu. Somehow I missed it from the dependencies list. It was not installed & I have now installed it, however I'm unfortunately still getting the same error. I do not use Ubuntu Unity and as such do not have indicate or unity installed. Below is a listing of installed dependencies and their version numbers.

ii  libgtk-3-dev                                                         3.4.2-5                            amd64        development files for the GTK+ library

I built Vala 0.18.1 from source as neither wheezy nor sid had the required version.

Cheers!

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.
