Thanks for the quick reply.

I've installed vala-0.12.0 and when I compile shotwell-0.9.3 I get a load of
errors beginning with:

/home/astacey/local/src/shotwell-0.9.3/src/plugins/PublishingInterfaces.vala.c:193:
error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘GDateTime’

(I can paste more of the errors if that would help.)

As far as I can tell (I'm no expert on reading Makefiles), it does the package
version check with no errors.
