Hi all:

Several days ago, another user commented in Elementary Dev list that
using CMake with Vala was quite hard and difficult.

After thinking about it, I reached the conclusion that using CMake is
quite boring and repetitive, so I said to myself: why not creating a
tool that automatically generates the CMakeLists.txt files, based on
several rules and heuristics?

The result is Autovala. It not only deduces where to put each file and
how to compile the binaries or libraries from the sources, but also
automagically finds the packages used in each project, and passes them
to the compiler. It also creates automatically the .gir and .vapi files
for libraries.

You have a longer and more precise description in the README file, in
the github repository:

    https://github.com/rastersoft/autovala

It is still an alpha version, but fully usable.
I have some problem to compile configuration.vala, seems related to Posix:

/home/francis/workspace-vala/autovala/src/autovala_lib/configuration.c:2264:2:
error: too many arguments to function ‘realpath’

Here is the generated C code:

_tmp35_ = realpath (_tmp34_, NULL, 0);

The problem is that realpath takes only two arguments, but three are
passed. This is not related to autovala, I can reproduce the problem
with this small snippet:

#!/usr/bin/vala --debug --verbose --save-temps --pkg posix

using Posix;

class Realpath : GLib.Object {

public static int main(string[] args) {
string path = Posix.realpath("realpath.vala");
GLib.stdout.printf("test %s\n", path);
return 0;
}

}

I runs on Ubuntu 12.10 with vala-0.18. Does somebody else have this problem?

Cheers,

Francis
