Public bug reported: Midori fails to build from source with vala 0.36 which is generally included with GNOME 3.24.
Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha recently got vala 0.36. One error was this: /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/extensions/apps.vala:268.47-268.50: error: Argument 1: Cannot pass value to reference or output parameter store.remove (iter); ^^^^ Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) I believe that particular error can be fixed by using "ref iter" instead of "iter" but that won't work with older versions of vala. There are a lot of iters used in the code. rev. 7159 in the bazaar branch lp:midori fixes another problem. ** Affects: midori Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: midori (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Tags: artful ftbfs ** Also affects: midori (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: midori (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: midori (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Description changed: Midori fails to build from source with vala 0.36 which is generally included with GNOME 3.24.
