Your question is a little bit unclear...you want to compile vala from source in a windows environment?? — Hackerman, Oct 04 '13 at 18:09

Did you follow this wiki instructions: http://linbox.free.fr/vala/ — Hackerman, Oct 04 '13 at 18:12
ok, but it is used mingw and make, and I expect something like '> valac sourceCodeVala.vala' — rChavz, Oct 04 '13 at 18:20

If 0.20.1 is enough, you can use http://www.tarnyko.net/en/?q=node/35 and possibly avoid this whole thing.

If you really need 0.22.0, Vala release tarballs don't actually require valac to compile—they contain all the generated C. You should be able to use the build system included with Vala (like Robert Rozas mentioned, or via cygwin) to generate executables even without valac installed.

GNOME wiki recommends using either MSYS2 or WSL (Windows 10 only) to get Vala compiler. Another option is using ValaForWindows, which aims to be the easiest option to install and use.
