Hi there,
I'm having some problems compiling vim 7 on solaris 8, and I'd
really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Here is the error I'm getting :

[huge company disclaimer snipped]
I'm setting followups (or trying to) to the vim-dev list which is where this
kind of query belongs. (Since you're compiling Vim, if you haven't yet
subscribed to the vim-dev list, you should.)
The first error mentioned (at vim:h:41) is part of the following:
# if (SIZEOF_INT == 0)
Error: configure did not run properly. Check auto/config.log.
# endif
So what does your config.log say? Have you got one? Did configure not run at
all?
Try setting configure options (as shown e.g. at
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm ) then doing (for
instance)
source myenviro
cd src
make reconfig >../make.log 2>&1
tail ../make.log
./vim --version |head
If it looks OK this time, you can then "make install".
Next time, please include a line containing only two minuses followed by a
space (known as a "signature separator") somewhere before the company
disclaimer, so that mailers which (like mine) know about signatures can print
it in lightgrey and auto-strip it on reply.
Best regards,
Tony.
