Build Issue with Paths.vala

[Paspartout]

Hi!
I tried to compile granite on natty.
CMake configured correctly but as I tried to build I get this Error of valac:
granite/lib/Services/Paths.vala:55.56-55.75: error: duplicating List instance, use unowned variable or explicitly invoke copy method
  public static List<File> xdg_data_dir_folders { get; protected owned set; }
                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

** (valac:8130): CRITICAL **: vala_ccode_function_add_assignment: assertion `right != NULL' failed
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 1 warning(s)

I don't know if its a bug or not. But as you wrote in the INSTALL file i just opened the bug here.
Hope you will be able to fix this.

Thanks

I also have problems when I try to build it, i get this:

Im using vala-0.13.1

:/

It seems to be exactly the same problem.
I would fix it myself but first I have to learn more about vala.

If you wanna start developing elementary apps in natty or oneiric(daily) you can use this
ppa instead of the source: https://launchpad.net/~elementaryart/+archive/unstable-upstream

Confirmed working with the latest vala from unstable-upstream. I'll keep it updated if it changes.
