Chris,

at Yorba some of us use gedit with Valencia, which is a Vala plugin developed here at Yorba:

http://yorba.org/valencia/

If you try Valencia, you should build it from git master since the last release is pretty old and is for GTK 2. We should make a new release soon.

Others here use Geany:

For other possibilities, see the list "IDE Support" at http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Tools . Cheers -

Hi Adam,

Thank you for the quick reply.

It's doing a perfect job of compiling now. I forgot about the lib in front of the package name. Knew I was looking in the wrong place.

One last question if you don't mind: What IDE would suite Vala best, or would any C type IDE do just fine? I want to use the best first and not waste time if you know what I mean.

Regards,
Chris Lombaard

Chris,

oops - the list of packages on our Web site is out of date. Thanks for pointing that out. You'll need these additional packages to build Shotwell 0.12 on Ubuntu:

libgtk-3-dev
libunique-3.0-dev
libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev

That should fix the problem.  We'll fix the Web site soon.  Thanks -

adam

Hi,

The new Shotwell v12.2 is really well done! I was forced to update from
Ubuntu v10 to enjoy the latest benefits.

I'm trying to compile from source as per website instruction with git
server containing latest code.

The following steps preceded an unsuccessful build:

- Install clean Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Run sudo apt-get update
- Install git
- Install relevant "developer source packages" as per website: >>> sudo
apt-get install libgconf2-dev libgee-dev libgexiv2-dev libglib2.0-dev
libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgtk2.0-dev
libgudev-1.0-dev libexif-dev libgphoto2-2-dev libraw-dev librest-dev
libsoup2.4-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev m4 libunique-dev libwebkit-dev
valac-0.16
- Download source using: git clone git://yorba.org/shotwell
- Run ./configure and make from Shotwell folder just created from git
clone.

Error message returned:
..Dev/shotwell$ make
Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-3.0' found
Package unique-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `unique-3.0.pc'

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'webkitgtk-3.0' found
make: *** [pkgcheck] Error 1
..Dev/shotwell$

There ain't any packages when searching in Synaptic package manager for
above mentioned required packages that I'm seeing, so I guess I'm looking
in the wrong place for the solution.

How are you guys getting this compiled on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
