Abderrahim, I did. In fact I needed to, in order to generate the Sql-0.1.gir and the subsequent .girs'.
I noted that the name the error gives to the package is not the same I gave it when exporting it. I called it gvn-0.1 and the error talks about Gvn-0.1, which is not a correct package name. I thought vapigen parsed the name from the .gir and lower the case. May be the name the error gives to the package has no relevance, I don't know. As you can see, I'm kind of lost right now in all this .vapi generation thing (it's the first time I use a mailing list!), but I guess this is the funniest part of programming. Thanks for the link, I'll give it a look. Thanks! Regards, Alex.
