Cannot Build on Ubuntu Jaunty

[pixel_juice]

I have Valac, Ncurses and Gstreamer installed. Running the build script yields these errors:

Any ideas?

SAP requires Vala version 0.7.2 or greater , and it appears that you have an old version of Vala. I will add an appropriate version requirement to the SAP description as well as the README.

[pixel_juice (benjarvis)]

That explains it. Ubuntu's is 0.5.7. Too old! Well I think I'll hold off on compiling SAP then, as I'm too lazy to build Valac from source. :)

I'll keep an eye on this project and install it when there is a DEB or when I get the proper version of Valac.

Thanks!
