Patch

Folks fails to build for out-of-tree build. Attached patch fixed this for me.

I've built it with the following options: "--disable-fatal-warnings --enable-vala --disable-inspect-tool --disable-libsocialweb-backend --disable-tests --disable-zeitgeist --enable-telepathy-backend --enable-eds-backend", so different options list might require additional patches

I'm no expert, but this patch looks like a good start, at least...

Which version of Vala, and which version of Automake, does this work with? It would probably be good to keep track of a known-good configuration.

I tried this with vala-0.20 and automake-1.13.4, if I'm not mistaken this should work latest vala also
Comment 3 Philip Withnall 2014-06-12 07:18:28 UTC 
Thanks for the patch. It works with Vala 0.24.0.16-c045 for me, so I've pushed with a few whitespace fixes.
