Hi...Looks like you are missing the Vala Compiler - valac. Before you execute the build command, please make sure you have all the dependencies listed on: https://github.com/babluboy/bookworm/blob/master/README.md

Also, what distro are you trying to build bookworm upon ? There are some helpful installation instructions on the Bookworm Install section here: https://babluboy.github.io/bookworm/#install

Had the same problem on Fedora 30, installed vala instead of libvala or valac

$sudo dnf install vala

Then I have bookworm working.

I'm on Ubuntu LTS 18.04.2, I just had to install lavac

sudo apt install valac

or in general

sudo apt install <your_missing_dependency>

ghost commented 4 years ago

On manjaro, this can be done with sudo pacman -Syu vala

babluboy / bookworm
