You must combine it with '--header' (-H). Vala does not generate
multiple header files anymore (single header include is now standard for
GObject libraries).

Maybe Vala should warn when '--use-header' is used without '--header'.
Without '--use-header' Vala will use forward declarations in the
generated C files.


Generate header file:
$ valac *.vala --header myheader.h

Generate header file and use it in the generated C files:
$ valac *.vala --header myheader.h --use-header
