Hi, i haved some problems, and i solved editing the file valaprojectgenerator.vala in lines
196: FileUtils.get_contents (”/usr/share/automake/INSTALL”, out s);
to
196: FileUtils.get_contents (”/usr/share/automake-1.9/INSTALL”, out s);
and line:
201: license_filename = “/usr/share/automake/COPYING”;

@dio: I haven’t checked that recently but it should build with MinGW and Visual Studio. It’s also available in Cygwin ports.

I hope the app. generator also generate a basic glade file with a menubar, toolbar, status bar and an main area and code to load the glade file.

It will be great if the generator also setup the gconf so people can have the application save preferences from the start.

It’s really become tedious to repeat all those same steps when create new applications.

Hi Jürg,

Congrats to you and all vala team. This sounds very cool. Anjuta-vala support would be very cool for Anjuta 2.4 Tornado !

Kind regards,
Étienne.

I want to second the comment above from Johannes, getting this in Anjuta would be extremely cool.

@Johannes: This makes sense when we have some basic Vala support in Anjuta. I’d like to help but I should first take care of documenting Vala.

@Raphael: It’s called vala-gen-project. You have to run configure with –enable-gen-project as it’s not built by default currently.

Hmmm… looks nice, just, what is the binary called? ls /usr/bin/*vala* shows nothing except valac…

Suggestion: Take a look here to make your life (and mie) easier:

http://www.anjuta.org/documentations/subpage/documents/libanjuta/project-wizard-format.html

It should not be difficult to create such a project assistent (we have to remove the word wizard…).
