Compilation fails on Arch Linux

[kousu]

I checked out a fresh copy (0acbe48) on Arch Linux and get several copies of this error from different files:

I have vala 0.46.4-1.

Here is a complete build log.txt

I like dino very much! I'm hoping I can get it building again :)

This is clearly a problem with one of the recent upgrades. When I tested building Dino 2 days on Arch (with vala 0.46.3) it was OK but now it fails with the same error as yours. Downgrading vala did not help but there were multiple changes in between so it's possible that some other package change broke it.

I did play around with the source a little bit and found out that inlining const strings works around the bug. In case someone is interested here's the commit: wiktor-k@2967b02

There are more computed consts in the source and it's not a problem so maybe the underlying issue is some flag for plugins or something 🤷‍♂️ .

This issue is fixed in the git of vala compiler and will probably be fixed in the next release. Thanks @ricotz for swift sction.

We should provably still add 0.46.4 (and various others) to our list of versions that have bugs in fast vapi generation (we already have a workaround for such issues in place just need to activate it for this version of valac.

And last OBS Build is also not usable ;(
