Nope. The same reason you cant build without missing libraries.

Vapis are not meant to fully express .h contents. Theres no defines, no enum fixed values, not all struct fields needs to be exposed, etc

It could work for simple cases but surely not for real cases. A part that header files can be different depending on OS.

Hello,

I am trying to build the valencia plugin to gedit under the mac. However, it is quite a nightmare to install gedit from source with its many dependencies, so I am just planning to download the mac binary from the official website.

Since all the header file information is already encoded in the vapi files, I am wondering if it would be possible to compile based on the information in those files, and then just link against the dynamic libraries provided with the gedit binary? Maybe I can actually reconstruct the header files using the vapi files shipped with vala?

In general can vala compile without available C header files?

Thanks,
Celil
