Using SCons with vala?

[days_of_ruin]

Is it possible to use SCons to compile vala programs?

[cabalas]

A quick search on the SCons wiki lead me to this http://www.scons.org/wiki/ValaBuilder , which looks like it would be a plugin to allow for compiling with vala could be worth looking into.

Any idea on how to install it and use it?

Looking through the user manual it has a whole section on writing/using custom builders http://www.scons.org/doc/1.2.0/HTML/scons-user/c3427.html that should help you

Still haven't figured it out.Is there any scons users here that have used this or other custom scons builders?

Create a directory called scons-tools and insert the code into a file called "vala.py".

Then:


# Load the custom vala builder
env.Tool('vala', toolpath=['scons-tools'])
env.Decider('content')

vala = env.Vala(Glob('*.vala'))
