Installing in Scratchbox

  1. Add extras and extras-devel to /etc/apt/sources.list.d in Scratchbox
  2. Install valac (and, optionally, libgee).

For example: 

/scratchbox/login
for j in  '-src'; do for i in  '-devel'; do
  echo "deb$j http://repository.maemo.org/extras$i diablo free non-free" >>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/extras-repo.list
done; done
apt-get update && apt-get install valac libgee

IDE

Monodevelop 2.0

Monodevelop 2.0 is out and stable. The Vala plugin is still not top notch usability (completion is not always working) but the editor is good and easy to use.

Eclipse
