Vala and Snapcraft. Issues with a library part in Vala.

[Luca Dionisi]

Yes. It is indeed doing the trick.
Probably better yet, I should add a "vapidir" variable to the *.pc
file of my Vala libraries and use it in dependent projects.
That is, in configure.ac:
PKG_CHECK_VAR([LIBX_VAPIDIR], [mylib-x], [vapidir])
and in VALAFLAGS of Makefile.am:
 --vapidir $(LIBX_VAPIDIR)
