[Pim Vullers]

When trying to build eidete with valac 0.20 I get the following error:

...

This is with Eidete from trunk, Gtk+ 3.4.4, GLib 2.36 and Vala 0.20 on Gentoo Linux. With Vala 0.18 it builds fine.

I compile my code in my computer with Vala 0.20 under Raring and the process works fine; I try to create a package in launchpad with exactly the same code, and I receive the same error.

I my computer, I checked the .c code and the call is gkt_window_set_opacity, but in the launchpad servers, the error is:

CMakeFiles/cronopete.dir/restore.c.o: In function `restore_iface_construct':
restore.c:(.text+0x150d): undefined reference to `gtk_widget_set_opacity'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

BTW: I have the Vala PPA in my system...

Can someone confirms that it still an issue with trunk.

It compiles fine with vala 0.26.
Should we bump vala requirements?
