That I already did. The vapi file *is* in ./stage/share/vala/vapi/.
Does it need to be directly in ./stage/?

Maybe I should also say that in fact I have a library X that needs
another library Y and both are in Vala. I think it does not matter,
though.

I use the autotools plugin (for the app part) and it issues this command:
  /usr/bin/valac -H mylib-x.h --library mylib-x --pkg mylib-y -C
main.vala more.vala

So, there is nothing telling the compiler to search for mylib-y.vapi
in ./stage... Or is there an env-variable that should do it?

I am having a look, but it is different in that it uses cmake. I don't
know how to use cmake.
