Hi:
Finally I found the library "keybinder". It doesn't work no wayland, but
at least allows me to do what I need in X.
But now I have a problem: the VAPI file isn't available in my system, so
I'm adding it manually. But here comes the odd thing: if I specify the
VAPI file in the command line, it doesn't compile:
valac -C captura.vala --pkg=gtk+-3.0 --pkg=keybinder-3.0
keybinder-3.0.vapi
error: Package `keybinder-3.0' not found in specified Vala API
directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
But if I just set a "vapidir" with the folder that contains the .vapi
file, everything works fine.
valac -C captura.vala --pkg=gtk+-3.0 --pkg=keybinder-3.0 --vapidir=.
But with other projects, just adding the .vapi files worked fine (like
the Autovala plugin for Gedit or Scratch, or a plugin for GnomeBuilder
that I'm writing). In both cases the libraries are available system-wide.
So... why does this happen? And what is the difference between just
specifying a .vapi file or putting a --vapidir parameter?
Thanks.
