Hey again,
Even know I can, and most vala-based programs do this way, I want to have more control on this.
It's not I don't trust automake, I just want that --enable-vala option would work, so if is essential.
% ./configure --help
...
--disable-vala compile C source only, never compile with vala
(default: enabled if possible)
--enable-vala compile vala source to C, if possible (default: yes)
...
Why do I do this? First, there is no harm for letting the user decide.
Secondly, I use --disable-vala just to test weather gcc only would work.
Does my approach is wrong, or not recommended? Because as default, it will do what you've said.
