I hate vala folks, each new release breaks everything... >:-[

I'm sorry but nowadays I'm quite busy at the university, I don't know when I'll manage to fix this... Sorry.

[Unnamed_Hero (uh-linux)]

Thank for a fast reply. What is the last version of vala is currently compatible with ejecter?
I've tried 0.3 and 0.5.3 (as a minimal in deps, and 0.5.3 was founded in bugzilla thread).

With both versions ejecter was compiled, but when launched - nothing happend, even after inserting usb hdd and ssd flash

[Devid Antonio Filoni (d.filoni)]

In Ubuntu Karmic ejecter package, I fixed this applying the attached patch. You'll also need to use a new waf version in order to build ejecter.

[Federico Pelloni (fredp)]

I'm having troubles too building on Karmic alpha 6 (vala 0.7.5, gtk 2.17.11). Can't find dbus headers.

[Federico Pelloni (fredp)]

I fixed the problem I was having. It was my fault, there was an error in waf scripts.

[Federico Pelloni (fredp)]

I'm closing this as situation is now unclear.
Released version - and "ejecter" bzr branch compiles on Jaunty with stock software.
"karmic-gdu" bzr branch compiles on Karmic alpha 6.
If you have any trouble please feel free to file a new bug. Thank you.
