This is what I would do if the vapi file can be generated directly
from gobject-introspection gir file, then it's rather straightforward:
Add --enable-vala and check for AC_PATH_PROG(VAPIGEN, vapigen) in configure.ac.
Add vapi files rules in Makefile.am (perhaps in a vapi directory):
if WITH_VALA
vapidir = $(datadir)/vala/vapi
vapi_DATA = \
webkit-1.0.vapi \
webkit-1.0.deps
webkit-1.0.vapi: $(top_builddir)/where/to/find/WebKit-1.0.gir
$(AM_V_GEN)$(VAPIGEN) --library webkit-1.0 $<
endif
Adjust your arguments where needed, add metadata/custum files etc..
Hope that helps!
