[BUG] Failing to compile: program does not contain a static `main' method #179
Description
Describe the bug
I'm getting 'error: program does not contain a static `main' method' when compiling with:
- valac 0.56.4
- cmake 3.25.3
- gettext 0.21.1
- gtk+ 3.24.37
- glib 2.74.6
- libcanberra 0.30-r7
- libpeas 1.34.0
- libayatana-appindicator 0.5.92
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- git clone https://github.com/JMoerman/Go-For-It.git
- cd Go-For-It/
- mkdir build
- cd build
- cmake -D VALA_EXECUTABLE='/usr/bin/vala-0.56' ..
- make
Expected behavior
Successful compilation.
Screenshots
The upper half is the console output i get when trying to compile.
The lower half contains the line that throws the error.
Command line output

OS and application version:
OS: Gentoo
Application version: latest upstream / git: 0edb744
Additional context
Gentoo provides USE-flags which allows personalizing some compile-time flags for some applications.
That means it's possible that some of the dependencies i have installed may not contain everything you'd expect from a general build, but i don't think i'm disabling anything that might be necessary. (I believe the static main method that the error mentions should be withing Go-For-It's code, but i got no experience working with vala or GTK/GTK+, so correct me if i'm wrong)
I double checked my USE flags and i'm sure i set decent configuration there.
