Sure. You need the VAPI files from xfce4-vala, and actually that reminds me that I'll have to install a separate pkg-config file with it.

Comment 2 Mike Massonnet 2009-06-07 04:33:24 CEST

Now when running in maintainer-mode (./configure --enable-maintainer-mode), which is the default when compiling from SVN, it will check for xfce4-vala 0.1.

(In reply to comment #2)

I installed the required xfce4-vala-0.1 but now get a new error:
---

Damn, I actually forgot to commit the updated vapi files :/ I just updated xfce4-vala, if you cloned from git then please pull.

If you took a tarball, you can edit $prefix/share/vala/vapi/libxfce4util-1.0.vapi and change the line:

  public static void textdomain (string package, string localedir, string? encoding);

against

  public static void textdomain (string package, string localedir, string? encoding = null);

Thank you for your report!

I get the xfce files from svn. The latest version of the notes plugin I have is revision 7491.
After applying the change 'encoding = null' in usr/share/vala/vapi/libxfce4util-1.0.vapi I now get another error:
---

I recompiled Thunar but that didn't remove the error!

Comment 6 Mike Massonnet 2009-06-07 09:32:17 CEST

Should be fixed too by now. Now it should compile at last.

Fixed in revision 7493.
Thanks!
