Build

meson setup builddir
meson compile -C builddir

Test

meson test -C builddir

or via Makefile helper:

make tests

Release artifacts

Tag-based release workflow (v*) publishes:

• shared library (lib*.so*)
• generated VAPI (src/vapi/*.vapi)
• generated header (src/*.h)
• bundled ZIP (<repo-name>-<tag>-linux.zip)

Use generated library in other projects

Option 1: Meson subproject dependency

In consumer project root:

./init.sh

Or run directly from GitHub:

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ValaFoundation/exceptions/master/init.sh -o init.sh && chmod +x init.sh && ./init.sh && rm init.sh

Option 2: Local vapi/lib/include integration

In consumer project root:

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ValaFoundation/exceptions/master/init-local-vapi.sh | bash

This helper downloads release artifacts (or builds from source) and prepares local vapi/, lib/, and include/ folders plus reusable Meson variables.

Dependencies
