[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.12.2

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

this is a quick release with workaround for the issue that

libchamplain fails to "make distcheck" with newer vala versions:

 

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669378

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671807

 

The problem is that

 

1. with vala 0.15 it is required to include cogl-pango-1.0 to generate

the vapi files

2. vala 0.14.2 doesn't ship with cogl-pango-1.0 (but it is required)

and the generation fails

 

The workaround is to

 

1. include cogl-pango-1.0 during generation so it is possible to

generate the vapis at least with vala 0.15 (thanks to Alexandre

Rostovtsev for the patch)

2. not to regenerate vapi files during make distcheck and use the

pre-generated ones so make distcheck doesn't fail on systems with vala

0.14.2.

 

This means that the switch --enable-vala, which re-generates the vapi

files, will now work only on systems with vala 0.15. But since most

people don't need to generate the vapi files by themselves, they can

use the pre-generated ones shipped with libchamplain and they'll have

working vala bindings too.

 

Cheers,

Jiri
