vala.eclass
Description
This eclass sets up commonly used environment variables for using a specific version of dev-lang/vala to configure and build a package. It is needed for packages whose build systems assume the existence of certain unversioned vala executables, pkgconfig files, etc., which Gentoo does not provide.
Functions
- vala_api_versions
-
Outputs a list of vala API versions from VALA_MAX_API_VERSION down to VALA_MIN_API_VERSION.
- vala_depend
-
Outputs a ||-dependency string on vala from VALA_MAX_API_VERSION down to VALA_MIN_API_VERSION
- vala_best_api_version
-
Returns the highest installed vala API version satisfying VALA_MAX_API_VERSION, VALA_MIN_API_VERSION, and VALA_USE_DEPEND.
- vala_setup [--ignore-use] [--vala-api-version api_version]
-
Sets up the environment variables and pkgconfig files for the specified API version, or, if no version is specified, for the highest installed vala API version satisfying VALA_MAX_API_VERSION, VALA_MIN_API_VERSION, and VALA_USE_DEPEND. Is a no-op if called without --ignore-use when USE=-vala. Dies if the USE check is passed (or ignored) and a suitable vala version is not available.
- vala_src_prepare
-
For backwards compatibility in EAPIs 6 and 7. Calls vala_setup.
Variables
- VALA_MIN_API_VERSION = ${VALA_MIN_API_VERSION:-0.56}
-
Minimum vala API version (e.g. 0.56).
- VALA_MAX_API_VERSION = ${VALA_MAX_API_VERSION:-0.56}
-
Maximum vala API version (e.g. 0.56).
- VALA_USE_DEPEND
-
USE dependencies that vala must be built with (e.g. vapigen).
