[Vala] Vala on OpenIndiana or Solaris

[Jason Martin <agrellum gmail com>]

Just trying out latest OpenIndiana's Hipster with all updates.

Want Vala to run well on it.

New to the Solaris way of doing things.

Used
http://sfe.opencsw.org/localhostoih/info/0/pkg%3A%2F%2Flocalhostoih%2Fsfe%2Fdeveloper%2Fvala%400.29.3%2C5.11-0.0.151.1.8%3A20160710T175029Z
to bootstrap build vala-0.36.4.tar.xz

Had to manually cp vapigen.pc to vapigen-0.36.pc and
libvala.pc to libvala-0.36.pc and run extra make in a few directories

> From old examples https://valadoc.org I archived May 2015

910 of 940 build and run well

13 in that batch Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

GLib.Array.prepend_vals.vala

2 would not build at all

https://valadoc.org/glib-2.0/GLib.Math.pow10.html
https://valadoc.org/glib-2.0/GLib.Math.pow10f.html

Both say:
warning: implicit function declaration
Undefined  symbol first referenced in file

Skipped building a few

Got a lot of warning: improper pointer/integer combination: op "="

How do you add header file to the vala source file to fix this?

Thanks
