Description Ladislav Zitka 2019-05-24 10:05:09 UTC

While emerging libical I got:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:354 (message):
  valac, the Vala compiler was not found.  Install it or disable Vala
  bindings with -DICAL_GLIB_VAPI=False

When I check vala in usr/bin I get:
andromeda /usr/bin # ls -la |grep vala
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           10 May  3 17:21 vala-0.40 -> valac-0.40
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           10 May 23 21:53 vala-0.42 -> valac-0.42
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        52360 May  3 17:21 valac-0.40
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        52376 May 23 21:53 valac-0.42
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          946 May  3 17:21 vala-gen-introspect-0.40
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          946 May 23 21:53 vala-gen-introspect-0.42


So I had to do manually symlinks for:
vapigen, vala-gen-introspect, valac

We should have in Gentoo eselect-vala admin tool, it exists in Zugaina, but based on some google code link, which does not exist anymore.

glib support is disabled in libical until anything is actually using it. So this will be disabled in addition.

Comment 2 Ladislav Zitka 2019-05-24 12:48:42 UTC

I have 2 apps depending on libical:
gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-3.33.1 (>=dev-libs/libical-2:0/3)
gnome-extra/evolution-ews-3.30.5-r1 (dev-libs/libical:0)
mail-client/evolution-3.33.1 (dev-libs/libical:0/3)
net-wireless/bluez-5.50-r2 (obex ? dev-libs/libical)

But they don't use libical-glib, if they do, please contact gnome team.
