Hello all,
I've been successfully building Vim 7 using BCC 5.5, but it seems a
recent update has broken it:
D:\vim7>build
U vim7\configure
U vim7\runtime\plugin\matchparen.vim
U vim7\runtime\autoload\gzip.vim
U vim7\runtime\scripts.vim
U vim7\src\netbeans.c
U vim7\src\option.c
U vim7\src\if_perl.xs
U vim7\src\if_ole.cpp
U vim7\src\version.c
U vim7\src\configure
Checked out revision 63.

What surprises me is that all the errors above appears to be in
stdlib.h, a Borland source file, not in a Vim source file. If it were a
collision between a declaration in a Vim source and a declaration in a
system C file, the messages ought to be more explicit. You might try and
see what is declared ar line 434 of stdlib.h to see what the error might
be (if there is one) in the Vim source.
I've had trouble building with BCC32 in the past. Trouble enough that
I've switched to cygwin, see
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm . However,
nowadays Steve Hall is distributing upgraded Vim installers for Windows
(currently 7.0.51), see
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866&package_id=39721
so if the executables contained therein include what you need, maybe you
don't have to compile at all anymore. :-) You may see the ":version"
text by clicking on "Notes" next to the version number; basically it's a
big GUI version, +ole -mzscheme +perl/dyn +python/dyn +ruby/dyn
+tcl/dyn. A similar console version is included.
Best regards,
Tony.
