Hi everyone I've just run across an interesting and unexpected problem, which I'd like to share in case anyone has considered it before or to warn any future victims. In a nutshell:
1. 'make dist' generates a platform-independent tarball which can be compiled on any platform 2. Vala should not be required to build from a tarball, so the generated .c files are dist'ed 3. I have some platform-specific #if OS_BEOS, #if OS_WIN32 etc. code in my vala source My dist tarball is therefore inconsistent, because to compile on platforms other than the one that did the 'make dist' I actually still need valac to regenerate the C files. Are there plans to drop 2) once Vala's plans for world domination come closer to fruition? Or is platform-specific Vala code discouraged?
