(Resending without original attachment - maybe got stuck in moderation?) I'm attempting to obtain Vim 7.3+ packages on Debian Stable.
(Debian Stable is the target platform for the software I'm working on, I want close integration between the system and Vim rather than just working over netrw, and I'd like to be able to share some working packages with fellow developers.) Vim 7.3+ hasn't been backported to Stable and an experiment with pinning Unstable packages proved less than successful, so I'm now trying to build packages from source, following the instructions at: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Building_Vim I pulled in dpkg-dev from Debian Stable Backports (to get /usr/share/dpkg/default.mk) in order to run debian/rules update-orig. I pulled in libtinfo-dev from Debian Unstable, as its version number (5.9-4) looked like a pair with libtinfo5 (which is on Stable), to meet the build dependencies. However, when I run dpkg-buildpackage -i -I it fails when building vim-gtk. Short extract: /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/perl/5.10/ExtUtils/xsubpp -prototypes -typemap \ /usr/share/perl/5.10/ExtUtils/typemap if_perl.xs >> auto/if_perl.c Undefined subroutine &ExtUtils::ParseXS::errors called at /usr/share/perl/5.10/ExtUtils/xsubpp line 41. make[1]: *** [auto/if_perl.c] Error 255 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Projects/vim/src/vim-gtk' make: *** [build-stamp-vim-gtk] Error 2 rm configure-stamp-vim-tiny configure-stamp-vim-gtk dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 Oddly, /usr/share/perl/5.10/ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm does contain a sub errors { $errors } and even this small Perl snippet causes the same "Undefined subroutine" error: use ExtUtils::ParseXS; ExtUtils::ParseXS::errors(); Does anyone have any hints/ideas on how I could approach getting this to work? -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
