We are re-writing the plugins with the plugins system so we didn't finish yet :)

[semicode-ltd]

and any help will be appreciated :)

Sure, I am having an issue getting sarah to run on my ubuntu system. I am getting the following errors

when I run valac main.vala
main.vala:27.3-27.5: error: The type name App' could not be found
App app = new App ();
^^^
`

============================================================================

and when I run sarah.vala
sarah.vala:53.10-53.13: error: The symbol Peas' could not be found
public Peas.Engine engine;
^^^^
sarah.vala:54.10-54.13: error: The symbol Peas' could not be found public Peas.ExtensionSet extension_set; ^^^^ sarah.vala:55.10-55.13: error: The symbol Peas' could not be found
public Peas.PluginInfo plugin;
^^^^
sarah.vala:66.22-66.25: error: The symbol Peas' could not be found unowned GLib.List<Peas.PluginInfo> plugin_list = this.engine.get_plugin_list (); ^^^^ sarah.vala:69.13-69.16: error: The symbol Peas' could not be found
foreach (Peas.PluginInfo plugin in plugin_list)
^^^^

I eagerly await your response

I prefer the plugins in python if its all the same Im really good with it.

[semicode-ltd]

You can install the dependencies and run sarah as following :
make all
make install
cd bin
./sarah pluginname

[semicode-ltd]

Yes You can Write any Plugin You want in Python

Got the following when I tried to run the make file :
sudo make all valac -o libsarah.so --library=sarah -H ./bin/sarah.h --gir=Sarah-1.0.gir -X -shared -X -fPIC --pkg libpeas-1.0 --pkg gmodule-2.0 sarah.vala -d ./bin /home/kyle/PycharmProjects/sarah/bin/sarah.vala.c:31:26: fatal error: libpeas/peas.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. error: cc exited with status 256 Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) Makefile:11: recipe for target 'sarahLib' failed make: *** [sarahLib] Error 1

You need to install libpeas-dev package :)

[KyleSponz]

well it seems that helped some, it seems that the error is as follows and centered around the vala-extension.vala file found in the /plugins directory:

Thanks for being so awesome with my new guy questions, Ive never even heard of vala till I started playing around with sarah. Im having a blast regardless

[semicode-ltd]

its Okay Friend !
you need to install vala compiler itself so check this link i think its useful for you :

[semicode-ltd]

Sorry Friend this was a problem in the make file clone the repo again and try now

export GI_TYPELIB_PATH=.
./sarah hi am kylespons

[KyleSponz]
