Good to know. I'm new to building anything with gir/Vala/cmake/et cetera and 
nothing in that error message indicated to me if it was a gir or vapi that was 
missing, but perhaps the uppercase letter should have been a clue. All of the 
mentioned gir's are in /usr/share/gir-1.0 and have been so if anything perhaps 
Vala 0.18.1 wasn't sourcing that dir and the Vala from GIT found it without 
issue. Since it built I'm not feeling like rolling Vala back to test! :-/

The issue I was investigating however, regarding attached images sent from 
Apple Mail.app and its MIME encapsulation, still persists. Is that a known bug?

Hi Jim,

To be extra safe, I had actually rm -rf'd the directory and did a fresh git 
clone. And yes, it was exactly the same error. It was very strange, the rest of 
the build would have not gotten as far if those vapis were actually missing (I 
don't think) and the referenced missing vapi files are in fact all in place. I 
installed Vala from a tarball from the Vala website. One thing that oddly came 
to me in a dream on Saturday night was I should build Vala from GIT with my 
tarball I built of Vala 0.18.1. Again, the latest version packages from 
standard Debian sources (wheezy or sid) aren't recent enough to hit the 
pre-reqs for geary. Just now I built Vala from GIT with the vala from the 
tarball and Geary compiled albeit with some type errors. I'll restart Geary and 
check it out now.

Thanks for your help!


One clarification here -- the errors aren't related to missing vapis, they're 
due to missing GIRs.  On Ubuntu they're installed to /usr/share/gir-1.0

So when Vala's telling you it can't find Atk-1.0, what it means is it can't 
find Atk-1.0.gir, etc.  You might just try searching for those filenames on 
your system, it could be they're simply installed someplace that Vala doesn't 
know about.
