I've not an account there, however for a start you need at least to
download dova-core from [1], and other dova utils [2] if needed.

Then just code looking at the dova-*.vapi files that you have installed
for reference (pay attention that it lacks of many feautres of the glib
profile, like the string syntax @".. $var", for example, the printf and
so on!). Finally you just need to compile using:
        valac my-dova-test.vala --profile=dova
Check the valac messages for fixing your code if needed, always looking
at the vapi files. CC would generate many warnings by the way...

Bye.
