Thanks for your response, but my goal is to be able to create a good, general-purpose Makefile for building Vala projects. Autotools work well for porting to as many platforms as possible, but for simply building and testing it's overkill. My first attempt lacked parallel build support and would re-compile the entire source tree every time, which I hoped parvala would solve, but I discovered that it has a couple large shortcomings for how I want to use it:

Because of these, I started working on a new Makefile using parvala.mk as a template. Like I mentioned before, the idea is to have this Makefile be a drop-in tool to start building Vala projects, and not require additional scripts or configuration. Here's a basic run-through:

If there is some interest in it, I can polish it up and submit it to contrib for users who would prefer plain make over automake for their projects.
I, for one, would be very interested. I agree that automake is often
overkill. A simple, make-based solution would be great.
Thanks and best regards
