I apologize, but the compile instruction page is outdated and it will
not works with gedit 3.0

Because of this glib bug [1] the easiest way to compile and use
vala-toys 0.12 is do a system install with:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

If you still want to do a local install download vala toys 0.12.1 that I
just released and then:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local
make
make install

after that you have to copy the vtg setting schema in the system dir
(you need the root account) and recompile all the schemas:

sudo cp
data/org.gnome.gedit.plugins.vala-toys.gschema.xml  /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
sudo glib-compile-schemas

Last note.
If you don't have $HOME/.local/bin in your $PATH, copy the
vala-gen-project executable in /usr/local/bin too (or add ./local/bin in
your $PATH)

Regards,
Andrea

P.S.
I really like to simplify all this and I'm open for suggestions ;)
