ValaCompiler

A simple GUI for the command line valac.

What the application does

1-Select your project source folder, and create a "valacompiler" folder in it.

2-Scan the folder for valac compilable files and view them in a toggle list.

3-Modify the compile instructions by adding user selected options (eg:- pkg=gtk+3.0 pkg=granite .....), and add a "valacompiler.options" file in the "/valacompiler" folder.

4-Compile by using the command line (valac) + toggled files + options from step 3 + output a test file "valacompiler.test" in the "/valacompiler" inside the source folder.

5-Live report compile output.

6-Test run the output file "valacompiler.test".

7-Live report the test run output.
