build failure: No rule to make target `src/service/database.vala'

When trying to build feedler I get the following error:
...

So probably some files are missing, or a CMakeLists.txt file has not been updated properly.

This is on Gentoo Linux with Feedler from trunk.

Hmm.. I dont know what is a problem:-|
For test I permanently delete all contents of 'build' folder and after in terminal:
cmake ..
make
make install
and everything works fine.

Try this:
 1. Pull to the newest revision.
 2. Remove all files from 'build' folder.
 3. Rebuild all

Just made a fresh checkout and build (using vala-0.20)... same issue, see attached log.

[Daniel Kur (daniel-m-kur)]

Thanks for better log ;-)

I found the bug and probably fixed it. Please try last revision!

[Pim Vullers (pimvullers)]

Thanks, it is now indeed fixed.

(The first one was generated by the Gentoo Linux ebuild system which uses parallel build, make -j5. The newer one was manual with just make :-)
