Lorenzo,
what version of Ubuntu are you using? Both Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) and
Natty (11.04) include Vala 0.10.0 in their repositories in the
valac-0.10 package, so on those releases you shouldn't need to build
Vala from source. It sounds like you're probably on Ubuntu Lucid, since
you said you had to install libglib 2.26 from source. I don't know
whether the Shotwell trunk will build on Lucid, since I'm not sure
whether Shotwell has other dependencies that are not available there.
Yorba's policy is that each Shotwell release supports the last two
releases of the major distros. That is, Shotwell 0.8 builds on both
Maverick and Lucid, and Shotwell 0.9 (including the current trunk) will
build on both Natty and Maverick. I'd recommend that you update to
Maverick if you want to work with the Shotwell trunk.
By the way, we probably won't publish Vala in our PPA, since that's
really up to the Vala team and is outside the scope of Yorba's
activities. There is a Vala PPA
(https://launchpad.net/~vala-team/+archive/ppa), though it only includes
Vala 0.11.5. You could ask the Vala team to publish the last stable
release (0.10) in their PPA of Lucid if you like - don't know what
they'll say, though. I suspect that they, like we, are focused on newer
operating system releases.

Hello,
I am installing vala 0.10 from source.
I suggest to put it in your ppa, since there are two version (or at least is
what I have in the software list) 0.98 and 0.11.5, both not good for
installing shotwell.
Thanks again, anyway, for the perfect work you are doing with shotwell!
Regards
Lorenzo

Lorenzo,
thanks for your message. I suspect you're using Vala 0.9.8. The
Shotwell trunk will no longer build with that version of Vala. I've
just updated the Shotwell makefile to check for a minimum of Vala
0.10.0. So if you upgrade to Vala 0.10, you should be able to build.
Cheers -

Hello everybody,
I am trying to compile shotwell from source, obtained via SVN.
I have such a strange error with the last version
Compiling Vala code...

could
not be found
private GLib.DateTime example_date = new GLib.DateTime.local(2009,

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^
Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

What does this mean?
I have installed glib2.26 from source to be able to install shotwell.
Thanks a lot
best regards
Lorenzo
