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

[Michael Hall]

The compiler should automatically look for it in ./stage/ but you need
to make sure that your library is listed in the after: [] stanza on your
application part, so that it will be built and staged for your app to use.

There's an example you can look at here:
