Chain up to a class that has a public, non [CCode
(has_construct_function=false)] constructor.

Please note that in Vala, you don't need to chain up to direct base
class, you may for example chain up directly to Object (this is the
preferred way to set construct properties).

something like this should solve your problem :
public MyClass() {
Object();
}
