Re: [Vala] Settings.with_path help

[Chris Daley <chebizarro gmail com>]

Hola Edwin,

To use the gschema file without installing your application first, you need
to compile it.

glib-compile-schemas /path/to/set.gschema.xml

This will create a file that you can load using the following code -

var sss = new SettingsSchemaSource.from_directory("/path/to/", null, false);

var schema = sss.lookup ("org.foo.MyApp.Window", false);

GLib.Settings settings = new Settings.full (schema, null, null);

...

If you compile and install your application, the compiled gschema file will
be installed in the application's data directory under /usr/local and the
code above will not work. You will need to add a conditional compilation
switch like this:

#if RUNLOCAL

var sss = new SettingsSchemaSource.from_directory("/path/to/", null, false);

var schema = sss.lookup ("org.foo.MyApp.Window", false);

GLib.Settings settings = new Settings.full (schema, null, null);

#else

GLib.Settings settings = new Settings ("org.foo.MyApp.Window");

#endif

valac -D RUNLOCAL myapp.vala


Espero que esto te ayude,
Saludos
Chris
