xnoise git/master compilation

[swi]

Hello. I'm trying compile xnoise 1.1.31 from git but get strange (for
me) error:

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/xnoise-0.1.31/
libxnoise'
make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/xnoise-0.1.31/

I have intltool autogen gnome-common and all needed libs (actualy i
compile xnoise when it was HG 793rev perfectly fine.
What did i missed?

Hello swi,

xnoise version is still version 0.1.31 but git version is not 0.1.31 !
git version is not a release and therefore needs vala to compile
(releases don't need any vala to compile).
The currently used version of vala is 0.15.1 (highest currently
available release number)

I can see from the line:
"/bin/sh: --library: command not found" from your terminal output that
the vala compiler was not set because it is not available or too old.

Please install at least vala-0.15.1 and do

./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

This will work for the git version.
The procedure is also described here:
https://github.com/shuerhaaken/xnoise/wiki/Build
in the 'BUILD FROM GIT REPOSITORY' chapter.

Please tell me if you have any issues.

Regards

Hm. i have installed vala compiler, but it 0.14.2
I see, so i need to get vala 0.15.1 or get 1.1.31 branch from git ?

The easies way would be to download the release (xnoise-0.1.31) from
here:
https://github.com/shuerhaaken/xnoise/downloads

If you want a git version you have to update your vala version first.

in fact i build xnoise for distr so it' anyway in git must be, so i
prefer get sources not from tarballs but from git/svn/hg.
I understand you. I'll ask maintainer of vala to update it. Thanks
