glib-2.0.vapi:1229.2-1229.18: error: The value type `GLib.Pid` doesn't
declare a GValue set function
public struct Pid {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I am clueless as to why it wants something else. I thought a GLib.Pid
was an integer value.
This is with Vala 0.6 release.
I had the same error today. Following the GLib headers, I saw that *in Linux* a GPid is in the end a pid_t, that in the end is a 32 bit integer. What I did was to copy part of the GLib vapi into a seperate vapi file and there I copied the vapi directives of gint. It worked. I'd propose the attached patch to correct GLib vapi, but I'm not sure if it should be added to Vala because I've read in other mails that in Windows GPid is a pointer and not an integer.
