That's indeed confusing, but it stems from the odd symbolic links layout that upstream installs: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- lrwxrwxrwx 1 nixbld nixbld 9 Jul 15 19:18 vala -> vala-0.54 lrwxrwxrwx 1 nixbld nixbld 10 Jul 15 19:18 vala-0.54 -> valac-0.54 lrwxrwxrwx 1 nixbld nixbld 10 Jul 15 19:18 valac -> valac-0.54 -rwxr-xr-x 1 nixbld nixbld 147248 Jul 15 19:18 valac-0.54 lrwxrwxrwx 1 nixbld nixbld 12 Jul 15 19:18 valadoc -> valadoc-0.54 -rwxr-xr-x 1 nixbld nixbld 451032 Jul 15 19:18 valadoc-0.54 lrwxrwxrwx 1 nixbld nixbld 24 Jul 15 19:18 vala-gen-introspect -> vala-gen-introspect-0.54 -rwxr-xr-x 1 nixbld nixbld 1067 Jul 15 19:18 vala-gen-introspect-0.54 lrwxrwxrwx 1 nixbld nixbld 12 Jul 15 19:18 vapigen -> vapigen-0.54 -rwxr-xr-x 1 nixbld nixbld 720128 Jul 15 19:18 vapigen-0.54 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- If you read attentively, you'll see there's no proper 'vala' binary, vala, vala-0.54 and valac are all symbolic links to valac-0.54, which is the compiler. Perhaps upstream changed the behavior? Or it could be that they use arg0 (the program name) to infer different behaviors, which gets mangled by our wrappers. Do you have another build of vala to compare against, preferably at the same version? Thanks, Maxim
