Build: Support vala 0.15/0.16 (1.21 KB, patch)
2012-01-13 20:16 UTC, Dominique Leuenberger 		none Details | Review

Description Vincent Untz 2012-01-13 10:21:40 UTC 
It's that time of the year again: vala 0.15/0.16 obviously doesn't ship libvala-0.14.

I haven't tried yet, but it's probably just a matter of switching to libvala-0.16.

Do we want to keep supporting 0.14?
Comment 1 Dominique Leuenberger 2012-01-13 13:56:36 UTC 
Tested a build with vala 0.16, indeed it's sufficient to 'switch' the configure checks to libvala-0.16 / valac-0.16 and have the .c files regenerated from their .vala sources.

So the 'question' is really if we want to maintain compatibility with 0.14 or only check for 0.16 (both are relatively easy to do)
Comment 2 Johannes Schmid 2012-01-13 19:06:48 UTC 
As long as it doesn't require any source code changes I would prefer to support both.

Build: Support vala 0.15/0.16

Please review. The patch adds logic to detect vala 0.15/0.16.
It is advised no longer to distribute the generated .c file though but have them mandatory created from the .vala files: the generated .c files differ between usage of valac 0.14 and 0.16.

Thanks!
