It would be really nice to have a default backend that is used only if no other backend is suitable for the directory given by the user when creating a new project.

This default backend would support only auto-completion by searching recursively *.vapi and *.vala files (and maybe others, I don't know how it is implemented in vtg) in the project directory.

I make this feature request because my vala project use CMake instead of autotools.

This is a good idea I'll think about adding it in one of the next releases

Can you tell me how you build a CMake vala project? More in detail:

build command: eg. for autotools the command is 'make' clean command: 'make clean'

and if there is a configure step and what is the command for that too.

Do you have some public link of a Vala CMake project so I can do some testing?

The sole difference with autotools is the configure step: 'cmake path/to/source/dir' We can change the configuration, like the install prefix: $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path . (note the point at the end, that means that we are on the root directory of the project)

Here is a Vala project using CMake: http://github.com/swilmet/latexila The INSTALL file may be usefull.

Thanks
