August, I just didn't know that. Reading the documentation and looking at an official gnome project (GDA, that does the same thing I was trying to do) I though it was the only way to bind C to Vala. And the other developers I mentioned are using Vala by the first time, too.
If I can do this that way I'll save some time! Can you give me some reference to that method? Thanks!
