Hello,
There was a recent fix for that (I guess on master); I hope Vivien Malerba will join this thread on how to use it. Meanwhile, if you cannot go with a system-wide installation (assuming you are on a Linux box), you may want to modify the configure.ac file and change all occurence of 0.26 to 0.30.
Best,
Gergely
Thanks Gergely and Daniel,
I have Vala-0.29.2 on Linux Mint Mate which I have installed from source using the standard
./configure
make
sudo make install
vala, valac, vapicheck and vapigen are all in /usr/local/bin and libvala-0.30.so.0.0.0 is in /usr/local/lib
When I run the command you have suggested
./autogen.sh --enable-vala --enable-vala-extensions
The script halts with the following error:
checking for vapigen vapigen-0.26... no
configure: Searching for vapigen-0.26 program...
checking for vapigen-0.26... no
configure: error: Can't locate vapigen-0.26 >= 0.26.0 program
It does not seem to accept vapigen-0.30 as > vapigen-0.26.0
I created a symlink as vapigen-0.26.0 and that got me past this error but then I got a similar error message for libvala and the symlink trick wouldn't work for that. Is it a bug or did I do something wrong?
Regards
Steve
