Vala Dependencies Required Recommended (Required for valadoc) Optional (Required for the tests), (Required for generating the documentation), help2man, and weasyprint User Notes: Install Vala by running the following commands: If the recommended dependency is not installed, apply a patch. This will prevent building the valadoc program and libraries that can be used to generate API documentation in HTML format from Vala source code. patch -p1 -i ../vala-&vala-version;-avoid_graphviz-1.patch && ACLOCAL= autoreconf -fiv ./configure --prefix=/usr && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install Installed Programs Installed Library Installed Directories vala, vala-&vala-major-version;, valac, valadoc (not built if the patch is applied), vala-gen-introspect, and vapigen (symlinks); valac-&vala-major-version;, valadoc-&vala-major-version; (not built if the patch is applied), vala-gen-introspect-&vala-major-version;, and vapigen-&vala-major-version; libvala-&vala-major-version;.so and libvaladoc-&vala-major-version;.so (not built if the patch is applied) /usr/include/vala-&vala-major-version;, /usr/include/valadoc-&vala-major-version; (not built if the patch is applied), /usr/lib/vala-&vala-major-version;, /usr/lib/valadoc (not built if the patch is applied), /usr/share/vala, /usr/share/valadoc (not built if the patch is applied), /usr/share/devhelp/books/vala-&vala-major-version;, and /usr/share/vala-&vala-major-version; Short Descriptions valac is a compiler that translates Vala source code into C source and header files. valac vala-gen-introspect generates a GI file for GObject and GLib based packages. vala-gen-introspect vapigen is an utility which generates Vala API (VAPI) files from GI files. vapigen libvala-&vala-major-version;.so contains the Vala API functions. libvala-&vala-major-version;.so
