Re: [Vala] why valac says "error: Failed to execute child process (Exec format error)"

[oyster <lepto python gmail com>]

currently, the following command line creates EXE file in my msys
without problem as Dmitry says
[quote]
$ valac hello.vala
error: Failed to execute child process (Exec format error)
error: Failed to execute child process (Exec format error)
error: Failed to execute child process (Exec format error)
Compilation failed: 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)

$ gcc -o hello.exe hello.vala.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0`

#or "gcc -o hello.exe hello.vala.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib`
", since there is both glib.pc and glib-2.0.pc

$ ./hello.exe
hello
[/quote]
but obviously it is not so automatic

Another way relies on https://sourceforge.net/projects/valainstaller/,
but I don't know how to compile cloned master vala code
