Description of problem: I am trying to compile plank with a view to eventually make into a rpm but I get the following: checking for valac... /usr/bin/valac checking /usr/bin/valac is at least version 0.10.0... yes checking for vapigen... no configure: error: Vala must be built with --enable-vapigen Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.12.0 See above for details.
You'd want to install vala-tools, that's where vapigen is located.

I just ran into this mysterious vapigen while trying to build gnome-boxes. There is indeed a bug -- "yum search" cannot find the package that has it. Please reopen -- people shouldn't have to search BZ to find vapigen is in vala-tools. $ ./configure ... checking for vapigen... no configure: error: Cannot find the "vapigen compiler in your PATH $ sudo yum search vapigen Loaded plugins: changelog, langpacks Warning: No matches found for: vapigen No matches found $ sudo yum search all vapigen Loaded plugins: changelog, langpacks Warning: No matches found for: vapigen No matches found $ sudo repoquery --arch=x86_64 'vala*' vala-0:0.20.1-1.fc19.x86_64 vala-compat-0:0.16.1-2.fc19.x86_64 vala-compat-devel-0:0.16.1-2.fc19.x86_64 vala-compat-tools-0:0.16.1-2.fc19.x86_64 vala-devel-0:0.20.1-1.fc19.x86_64 vala-tools-0:0.20.1-1.fc19.x86_64 $ sudo yum info vala-tools Loaded plugins: changelog, langpacks Available Packages Name : vala-tools Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.20.1 Release : 1.fc19 Size : 124 k Repo : fedora/19/x86_64 Summary : Tools for creating projects and bindings for vala URL : http://live.gnome.org/Vala License : LGPLv2+ Description : Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern programming : language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional : runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to : applications and libraries written in C. : : This package contains tools to generate Vala projects, as well as API : bindings from existing C libraries, allowing access from Vala programs. $ sudo repoquery vala-tools --list | grep vapigen /usr/bin/vapigen /usr/bin/vapigen-0.20 /usr/share/aclocal/vapigen.m4 /usr/share/man/man1/vapigen-0.20.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/vapigen.1.gz /usr/share/pkgconfig/vapigen-0.20.pc /usr/share/pkgconfig/vapigen.pc
The simplest solution might be to make vala-tools a requirement for vala-devel: $ sudo repoquery --requires --resolve vala-devel pkgconfig-1:0.27.1-1.fc19.x86_64 glib2-devel-0:2.36.3-3.fc19.i686 pkgconfig-1:0.27.1-1.fc19.i686 glib2-devel-0:2.36.3-3.fc19.x86_64 vala-0:0.20.1-1.fc19.x86_64 $ sudo repoquery --whatrequires --recursive vala-tools folks-devel-1:0.9.2-3.fc19.i686 folks-devel-1:0.9.2-3.fc19.x86_64
