Re: [Vala] vala on a mac
wow. This is also very helpful. Thanks for this. Do you happen to know if GTK3 will be maintained on OSX? Are the bugs you mention ones that can be squashed? It would be great to eventually put together a workflow that is completely cross-compilable using vala. -august. On Sat, Sep 3, 2011 at 5:29 PM, august aug...@alien.mur.at wrote: Thanks for this. There's some good info in there. I'm sure there will be some differences with GTK+3, but this gives me a great place to starts. fyi GTK 3 is still pretty buggy on OS X, with rendering bugs, crashes etc, but it does work somewhat, and each new bug opened in bugzilla is a win for all of us who are determined to stick with GTK for UI on OS X as well :) For integrating with the menu, dock etc, and also .app packaging, you can find some stuff over here: https://github.com/jralls -- Daniel Svensson -- http://aug.ment.org GPG: 0A8D 2BC7 243D 57D0 469D 9736 C557 458F 003E 6952 ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
[Vala] code does not compile with 0.13.2+, did with 0.13.1
Hello, I have some code that compiled ok with 0.13.1 but which doesn't compile with 0.13.2 or 0.13.3 I also noted that new .c files are bigger, with many more temp vars My code is a bit complex, bindings of some libs for an e-ink device.

[Vala] Gentoo overlays has moved
Hi everyone, Good news for Gentoo users: vala-overlay has moved from svn to git. The project page has also changed from http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-vala/ to http://code.google.com/p/vala-overlay/ Moving to git means that the overlay now is easier for me to maintain, easier for you to add and easier for you to propose new ebuilds. To switch to a new repo just do this: # layman -d vala # layman -L # layman -a vala (playman users, you don't need any explanations,do you?) I'm also glad to say that I have recently updated Vala to 0.13.3, Shotwell to 0.11 and Valaterm to 0.4.2. Everyone who has a GoogleCode account can now create a clone of a repo and try to write his own ebuild based on two new eclasses: vala.eclass and waf.eclass. Then you just create a pull request and I'll merge your ebuild into the overlay. P.S.: Old project page will remain unmaintained till Nov 1, 2011 and then it will be deleted. ___ Best regards, Max. ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
