Re: [Vala] Generated vapi file for a library not compilable.

[PCMan <pcman tw gmail com>]

Thanks for sharing.
Manually editing the vapi file works for me too, but this is only a
workaround.
After regeneration of vapi files, the changes are gone and need to be done
again.
There must be something wrong in valac or my compiler settings.
We need a way to generate correct vapi files from vala code directly.
So, it seems that it's a bug in valac?
