GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 729639
app.vala compile error
Last modified: 2014-05-06 19:38:59 UTC
Compiling git master on ubuntu trusty fails: VALAC vte_2_91_vala.stamp app.vala:360.42-360.46: error: Argument 1: Cannot convert from `Gdk.EventButton' to `Gdk.Event' var match = terminal.match_check_event(event, null); ^^^^^ Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) I assume it works on your system ChPe, so it must be a change in Gtk or whatever, not sure in which direction. (Commenting out the "var match = ..." and the subsequent statement relying on "match" makes it compile, so this is the only error.)
I guess this doesn't work before the vala change from bug 713240… We could either add a #if for the old vala version, or bump the required vala version?
I vote for an #if on vala version – it's nice if vte can be compiled without errors. IMO let's lose an unimportant feature in vteapp rather than scaring people with a failing compilation, or requiring them to upgrade their vala.
Try now with git master.
Cool, thanks!
