Hi,
[CCing vala-list in case anyone is interested]
I've reimplemented realize in ~120 lines of python (well, I've cheated
a bit, I'm using an existing engine), I think it's easier for
prototyping than vala.
Right now, it can build the proto-1 of realize. It's not really
compatible, I'm not using the src/<path>/vala path nor separate target
(the latter is just a technical limitation).
You'll need scons [1] (either pass --standard-lib or add
${prefix}/lib/scons to your PYTHONPATH), you'll also need to download
the vala builder from [2].
To try it you can symlink src/main/vala to main in proto-1 and copy
both the attached file and the vala builder to the root source dir,
and run python realize2.py (and run ./vpl to rebuild with proto-1 :-p)
What do you think of this?
Ideas for improvement (basically : improve the vala builder and use
it; this will benefit those using only scons, so it's not a wasted
effort)
* support --basedir/--directory to separate sources from targets.
* add vapi/header/gir etc.
* add support for libraries.
* try to build valac ;-)
Hope this makes sense, I'm tired now,
Abderrahim
