News for ValaWinPKG users
- The repos for Vala 0.16.0 and 0.18.0 are finally up !
- There are some packages regressions:
- FreeGLUT VAPI doesn't seem to work with Vala > 0.12.0. Needs some fixes from its original maintainer;
- Poppler doesn't work anymore, should apparently be updated. Will do this when I have time.
- There is a new package: LibUSB.
- If you want to use these new repos, you should really update ValaWinPKG before (http://www.tarnyko.net/en/?q=
node/12). Sorry, but it's the last time it should be necessary. - The new version of ValaWinPKG allows you to have multiple Vala installations and maintain their packages separately. See this tutorial (http://www.tarnyko.net/en/?q=
node/14) for more info.

Just discovered this bundle, thank you so much for putting the effort into this (especially ValaWinPKG)! Hadn't even realised GTK+3 was working on Windows already! Downloading now :)
ReplyDeletehello
ReplyDeletei have some question
why vala dosent have method overloading?
and why it doesnt have #define, #undef, #region, #endregion, #line?
and alot of things...
can you please say whats vala plan in the future?
and does vala want to take c++ situation?
i hope vala will have all c# features(at least all c++ features)
thank inn avdance;)
> why vala dosent have method overloading?
DeleteVala translates to plain GObject/C, and there's no overloading mechanism in GObject/C.
> why it doesnt have #define, #undef, #region, #endregion, #line
You can #define with valac -D.
The #line is Log.LINE . Compile with valac -g to have valac lines.
It's intentional that there are a reduced number of preprocessing directives.
> and does vala want to take c++ situation?
There is some wip in a branch of Vala made by me, but nothing more than a PoC. There's no real plan for C++. The target of Vala is GObject/C, nothing else.
> i hope vala will have all c# features(at least all c++ features)
No it can't, it's a different language, just with similar syntax.
thank you for your quick answer .
