Creating an AppIndicator using vala: Package `appindicator3-0.1' not found












1















I am trying to create a Vala Application that will create an AppIndicator.



The problem is that when I compile my application I get the following error:



Package `appindicator3-0.1' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories


I compile the application like so:



 valac --pkg appindicator3-0.1 --pkg gtk+-3.0 indicator.vala


I have libappindicator-dev installed and gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 installed.



What I am missing?



Thank you.
