I had the same error today.
Following the GLib headers, I saw that *in Linux* a GPid is in the end a
pid_t, that in the end is a 32 bit integer.
What I did was to copy part of the GLib vapi into a seperate vapi file and
there I copied the vapi directives of gint. It worked.
I'd propose the attached patch to correct GLib vapi, but I'm not sure if it
should be added to Vala because I've read in other mails that in Windows GPid
is a pointer and not an integer.
Regards.
