Various GNOME applications fail to compile against Vala with errors stating that files can not be found such as:
error: Package `GLib-2.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories error: Package `GObject-2.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories error: Package `Gio-2.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories If what is needed are: "*.deps" files, they are not in: "/usr/share/val-0.18/vapi" however there are: "*.vapi" files for these there. I note that they are lower case. Adding the configure parameter: "--enable-vala=no" makes it compile so it is obviously a Vala issue. A Google search finds references to this problem, but I found no definite solution. It was suggested on the Gentoo forum http://<forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-950038-start-0.html> that gsettings-desktop-schemas and dconf were necessary. It didn't help and I can report the same problem with the command: # gsettings list-schemas Segmentation fault I am not much for running those tests until something goes wrong but I did run: "make check" on Vala-0.18.1. It did not pass. There is a string of OKs and then: /dbus/bug596862: OK /dbus/bug602003/server: OK /gir/bug651773: FAIL error: Package `GLib-2.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories error: Package `GObject-2.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories Generation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) 1 of 156 tests failed make[4]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1 There appears to be a problem here. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651773 -- James Tyrer Linux (mostly) From Scratch -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
