Description Debarshi Ray 2016-01-11 16:27:45 UTC 
The documentation [1] on integrating vapigen with Autotools is wrong with respect to Foo-1.0-custom.vala. It doesn't work with srcdir != builddir situations, which is the case in Continuous and during distcheck.

The error arises from the fact that Foo-1.0-custom.vala is in the srcdir, but vapigen looks for it in builddir.
