GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 796253
Support gnome-sdk-images compiling vala without patching
Last modified: 2018-05-19 07:33:48 UTC
I was trying to compile Geary with the WebKit/JS VAPI changes using flatpak-builder against org.gnome.Sdk//master from gnome-nightly just now, and found that it had been pinned to 0.34 because of the valadoc dependency on gvc.h from graphvis. Stable versions of that runtime include a patch to disable compiling valadoc, so I ported that across and now have the SDK building against vala 0.40. The patch is here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-sdk-images/blob/master/vala-no-valadoc.patch It would be good to have a proper configure toggle for this so the patch can be removed, or else make valadoc able to be compiled without graphvis.
