[Geary] compilation help

[Jim Nelson]

When you say you're getting the same error, do you mean you installed the gir repository and you're still seeing all those errors in your first message?  That indicates they didn't install or they're not in a directory Vala is looking in.

How did you install Vala?  From package or from tarball?

If you've installed the gir's, I would do the following in the Geary directory:

$ make distclean
$ ./configure
$ make

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.

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.
