As far as I know, vala compiles to C code, which is then compiled with gcc. An extra --pkg option
is probably equivalent to an #include <...>
line in C. If that is the case, the compiling time would only increase by a few milliseconds, but the resulting binary will still be the same :)
Anyway, thanks for the patch! It'll help those who are having the same build issues :D
LightDM-Unity-Greeter does not compile anymore, instead throwing numerous
"The symbol 'Indicator' could not be found."
errors. This issue is described more fully at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1082818#p1082818, and in subsequent posts. While I am still not sure what's causing the issue, I've come to suspect that it may actually be related tovala-0.16
, rather than any packages in theUnity-for-Arch-Extra
orUnity-for-Arch
repositories.In any event, I have identified a work-around contained in the following patch, which I've called
valaflags.patch
:Note that I may be going a bit overboard here on the
--pkg
options, but at leastconfig
andindicator
seem necesary (I addedfixes
at the same time I identifiedconfig
, so it may be worth testing to see if this is really needed or not...).
