I also scanned the old config.log from when it wouldn't build, and I can find no indication that 2.3.x was being picked up. Everything mentioned either /Library/frameworks/python.framework/blah-blah-2.7-blah, or said "-framework Python". The latter is also what config.log says on the working versions and on other archs too. -gmn -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!

Now that I'm back from out of town, I will very soon be able to try to build on Tiger PPC again after the recent changes. > > > 1.

I'll check my build logs when I get a hold of my TigerPPC box, to see if 2.3.x is entering the picture. But if this were the case, wouldn't it really be weird that (a) everything was fine as of 7.3.806 and probably until 7.3.965, (b) everything always was and is fine with plain BramVim? I'm no programmer, but why would BramVim vs. MacVim make a difference to the linker? -gmn -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!

It would seem that you are compiling with the 2.7.x headers but linking against the 2.3.x library.

Py_VISIT was introduced in Python v2.4, perhaps Mac OS X Tiger is including an older Python version (otherwise I don't know why the linker would fail) 2. The "suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous ‘else’" warning is because of code like "if (cond) Py_DECREF(...)" and Py_DECREF() is a macro which expands to "if (..) ... else ...". So the code will work as intended by there is a warning. So, #1 is the only serious problem. I guess Vim no longer supports older versions of Python.

The best I can do is to point you towards a zipped archive of the source code for 7.3.806, which comes from Björn's repo: https://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/archive/1ba220ad3da69e3607a7e36b97c66e43bca68790.zip.

Since the choking was on the functions Py_{VISIT,CLEAR}, and the
warnings reflected the lines 1423 and 1430 in if_py_both.h, I decided
to do an 'hg blame' on that file. The result is that the lines in
question were most recently touched by patch 7.3.965 (the python
garbage collection patch).
I cannot bisect to test commits prior to that, because updating to
such a commit (e.g., 7.3.930) deletes all the MacVim parts and leaves
the working directory as plain BramVim. As I noted earlier, BramVim
doesn't have the problem in question.
