Assuming you're talking about GLib, GObject, and Gio, Debian/Ubuntu already distribute the relevant GIRs. They're in libgirepository1.0-dev. http://packages.debian.org and http://packages.ubuntu.com are useful if you need help finding missing files (see the "Search the contents of packages" section) > > You should pass the pkg-config names of whatever dependencies you > > need > > to valac. valac will parse those VAPIs first, and there is an > > annotation which will tell valac what GIR namespace the Vala > > namespace > > corresponds to. > > At first I thought you'd figured it out, but I'm still seeing the > problem. The .gir file in question has these annotations inside it: Sorry, what I wrote is /really/ misleading. valac still requires the GIRs to be present. valac will still /start/ parsing the GIR. Once it gets to a <package/> element (which tells us what pkg-config package corresponds to that GIR) valac will look to see if that package has already been provided and, if so, skip the rest of the GIR. The CCode annotations aren't actually used in this context. > <include name="GLib" version="2.0"/> > <include name="GObject" version="2.0"/> > <include name="Gio" version="2.0"/> > > > To see my problem, rename GLib-2.0.gir.
