|

In this case, make sure that the VAPI name correspond to the pkg-config file.
|
||||
|
||||
If no pkg-config file is provided, you must use `find_library`. Using`declare_dependency` is cleaner because it does not require passing both dependency objects to the target.
|

|
||||
```meson
|
||||
foo_lib = meson.get_compiler('vala').find_library('foo') # assuming libfoo.so is installed
|
||||
foo_vapi = meson.get_compiler('vala').find_library('foo', dirs: join_paths(meson.current_source_dir(), 'vapi')
|
||||
foo_dep = declare_dependency(dependencies: [foo_lib, foo_vapi])
|
||||
|
||||
executable('app', 'app.vala', dependencies: [glib_dep, gobject_dep, foo_dep])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom output names
|
||||
|
||||
If a library target is used, Meson automatically output the C header and the VAPI. They can be renamed by setting the `vala_header` and `vala_vapi` arguments respectively. In this case, the second and third elements of the `install_dir` array indicate the destination with `true` to indicate default directories.
