Hi, 2009/10/15, Phil Housley <undeconstructed gmail com>:
If anyone has any interest in trying out my code, please realise that it is very early stage, and makes a lot of assumptions - for example, when compiling it will always invoke the first "valac" and "gcc" binaries in the path. Also, it currently needs an outdated version of libcore[1], patched to support a tiny bit of extra xml. If anyone has the patience to try it, I would be very grateful, any changes needed to get it to run will be accepted.
I've just had the patience to try it (libcore relies on the vala-support script which is incompatible with my version of automake), attached are the patches I made (the one for libcore is somewhat a hack, you need to install the vapi and header manually). I got it to run and to build itself. I'm a bit annoyed that it is too verbose (although I like a program to print what it's doing, this is too much). the project.xml mentions the path to vpl as main, while it is src/main/vala (I find this inconsistent, and I don't like deep nesting). I think that we should focus more on what it should do rather than how. We could for example write a build file for Vala (the compiler), and start implementing what's needed for it. Does this make any sense to you? Regards, Abderrahim
