Re: [Vala] Help with libgda

[Al Thomas <astavale yahoo co uk>]

OK I think you might be there, but just need to clear a few things up.
Firstly, after your last email I did start to think why install in /opt on a Fedora system.Maybe that was why 
your pkg-config  showed the old 5.2.2 instead of 5.2.4 whenyou built 5.2.4
Secondly check how many VAPIs are being generated by the build. 
In the build directory issue the command:find | grep -P vapi$This should list all files ending in vapi. There 
may be only one - see below.

Thirdly, libgda is a database abstraction layer. Why is a libgda-mysql-5.0.vapi even necessary?The Vala 
program should be built against the abstraction layer, not a database specific API?I'm wondering if your 
projects build instructions are wrong. Try removing --pkg libgda-mysql-5.0.Just a thought. I just tried 
downloading libgda, but too many dependencies for me to spend time onat the moment. So I haven't tested this. 
Otherwise there could be a configuration option to enableMySQL?
5.2.4 is the latest stable version. So if you get it working it may be helpful to the widercommunity to file 
a bug against Fedora libgda-devel package to get the VAPI included.

Ok, this is embarrasing, I installed into /opt.

So, I checked out libgda version 6, compiled and installed on /usr prefix and modified my configure.ac to use 
the version 6:
[...]
dnl Check for vala
AM_PROG_VALAC([0.10.0])


PKG_CHECK_MODULES(MEZQUITE, [libgda-6.0 libgda-mysql-6.0 gtk+-3.0])
[...]

and ran 

make distclean
./autogen.sh
make

The result of running make:

make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/nnieto/Code/mezquite'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/nnieto/Code/mezquite/src'
  VALAC    mezquite_vala.stamp
error: Package `libgda-mysql-6.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR 
directories
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Should I run the same tests but for git tag 5.2.4?
