Re: [Vala] Windows development



Hello,

I try to port Vala on Windows (is it the same port?), the problem is
Vapi dir location, in waiting for bug fix, you can add this option:

--vapidir="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\vala\vapi"

Regards,

2008/3/18, Matt Emson <memsom interalpha co uk>:
I'm looking at using Vala to develop some apps for Maemo, but I would
 like to get to know Vala better by playing with it on my Windows box. I
 have successfully built Vala on my Macbook under MacOS X 10.5.2 (using
 the version of GTK+ that comes with Mono and uses a native MacOS
 backend) and it works fine. However, Windows is on my work laptop that
 travels with me - my Macbook doesn't tend to leave the house. Cygwin
 doesn't have the right version of glib, so it chokes on the configure
 script. I'm not a Linux programmer and a novice GTK/GObject programmer
 so a nice handy installer would be cool :-)

 I did find a Vala 0.1.7 windows installer on the web somewhere which I
 tried, but it will not find anything in the "using" clause. Plus,
 running under Cygwin, it goes slightly insane. Attached the output below.

 Ta,

 Matt
