You're not the first; there seems to have been a f*ckup in the svn commit
lately. I suggest you scrap your existing 7.1a sources and restart from
scratch, by downloading the 7.1a.000 sources then applying the
7.1a.001 patch.
Here are the files whose download I recommend:
1) the unpatched archives
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unstable/unix/vim-7.1a.tar.bz2
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unstable/extra/vim-7.1a-extra.tar.gz
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unstable/extra/vim-7.1a-lang.tar.gz
The first one is not a typo: even for Windows, I recommend the *Unix*
+ extra
+ lang sources. Together, they have exactly one copy of every source file
needed to compile Vim for *any* platform including Windows.
Unpack them on top of each other at what will become your Vim
directory "for
compiling", maybe something like D:\build\vim : they will create a
subfolder
"vim71a" and place all the sources in it, creating subfolders as needed.
I don't know if you have a bz2 decompresser program, or if your
version of
"patch" will accept the patch format. In both cases, MinGW may or may not
offer the necessary packages (look there first) but I know Cygwin
does. (Even
WinZip knows about the .tar and .gz formats.)
2) the patch
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unstable/patches/7.1a/7.1a.001
Download it (and optionally its sibling files README MD5 and MD5SUMS)
into a
newly-created subfolder named (in my example)
D:\build\vim\vim71a\patches then
apply it by using (IIUC)
D:
cd \build\vim\vim70
patch -p0 <patches\7.1a.001
Could you please tell me the differences between svn repository and
your downloaded and patched sources? In fact #262 is a broken
committing because the patch 7.1a.001 was applied to 7.0.243, so the
svn sources are broken. But #263 is just synced from the cvs
repository. So if it is broken, so is cvs.
See details at
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm but
replace everywhere the directory name .../vim70/... by .../vim71a/...,
even in
the name of what will become your "production" 7.1a $VIMRUNTIME after
compiling and installing.
[...]
My downloaded and patched sources (from the ftp repository, thus bypassing
both cvs and svn) are Bram's official 7.1a.000 full sources and Bram's
official 7.1a.001 patch. If (as you're saying) the svn repository mistakenly
applied the 7.1a.001 patch against the 7.0.243 sources, by doing as I suggest
you won't make that error. And I don't know whether or not the CVS repository
is broken, but AFAIK the FTP uploads are made directly under Bram's own
responsibility, and IIUC those aren't broken (but they're incremental: you got
to apply the patches yourself).
Best regards,
Tony.
