Hello, I think I've successed to compile vala 0.18 under Windows. You could have a look to my page (tarball available for testing) : http://linbox.free.fr/vala
Here it is : ---------------------------------- How to compile Vala under Windows ---------------------------------- # First step : c:\> mkdir vala-build c:\> cd vala-build c:\vala-build> mkdir vala c:\vala-build> mkdir vala-src c:\vala-build> mkdir mingw c:\vala-build> mkdir msys c:\vala-build> mkdir build c:\vala-build> cd mingw # MingW installation # From http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/, these packages # binutils-2.22-1-mingw32-bin # gcc-core-4.6.2-1-mingw32-bin # libgmp-5.0.1-1-mingw32-dll-10 # libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-dev # libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-dll-2 # libintl-0.18.1.1-1-msys-1.0.17-dll-8 # libmpc-0.8.1-1-mingw32-dll-2 # libmpfr-2.4.1-1-mingw32-dll-1 # pthreads-w32-2.9.0-mingw32-pre-20110507-2-dev # w32api-3.17-2-mingw32-dev c:\vala-build\mingw> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/binutils/binutils-2.22/binutils-2.22-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma/download c:\vala-build\mingw> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/gcc/Version4/gcc-4.6.2-1/gcc-core-4.6.2-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma/download c:\vala-build\mingw> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/gmp/gmp-5.0.1-1/libgmp-5.0.1-1-mingw32-dll-10.tar.lzma/download c:\vala-build\mingw> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/libiconv/libiconv-1.14-2/libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma/download c:\vala-build\mingw> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/libiconv/libiconv-1.14-2/libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-dll-2.tar.lzma/download c:\vala-build\mingw> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Base/gettext/gettext-0.18.1.1-1/libintl-0.18.1.1-1-msys-1.0.17-dll-8.tar.lzma/download c:\vala-build\mingw> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/mpc/mpc-0.8.1-1/libmpc-0.8.1-1-mingw32-dll-2.tar.lzma/download c:\vala-build\mingw> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/mpfr/mpfr-2.4.1-1/libmpfr-2.4.1-1-mingw32-dll-1.tar.lzma/download c:\vala-build\mingw> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/pthreads-w32/pthreads-w32-2.9.0-pre-20110507-2/pthreads-w32-2.9.0-mingw32-pre-20110507-2-dev.tar.lzma/download c:\vala-build\mingw> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/w32api/w32api-3.17/w32api-3.17-2-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma/download #Then extract and you should have : c:\vala-build\mingw> dir bin include lib libexec c:\vala-build\mingw> cd ..\msys # msysCORE-1.0.17-1-msys-1.0.17-bin.tar.lzma c:\vala-build\msys> wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Base/msys-core/msys-1.0.17-1/msysCORE-1.0.17-1-msys-1.0.17-bin.tar.lzma/download # and extract c:\vala-build\mingw> cd ..\vala-src c:\vala-build\vala-src> # download lastest release from https://live.gnome.org/Vala/Release and extract # download http://vala-win32.googlecode.com/files/vala-0.12.0.exe and install in c:\vala-build\vala ---------------------------- Ok now we need to adjust msys configuration.

If you want to test your new fresh install, just change PATH variable. tips: --disable-vapigen to avoid sys/wait.h fatal error when compiling _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
