This one may run for a while :( If you want to try building a local fixed package, here is what I did yesterday: mkdir -p ~/build-gettext && cd ~/build-gettext sudo apt-get build-dep gettext && sudo apt-get install devscripts apt-get source gettext cd gettext-0.19.7/debian/patches # download the patch http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gettext.git/commit/?id=68ab0dafa99f1941b3ebb47b7cf969381e7310f4 wget -c 'https://www.256bit.org/~chrisbra/0001-desktop-Fix-invalid-memory-access.patch' echo 0001-desktop-Fix-invalid-memory-access.patch >> series cd ../../ dch --local $USER ** mention fixe in the changelog ** debuild -us -uc cd .. sudo dpkg -i gettext_0.19.7-2ubuntu3.1${USER}1_amd64.deb # go to your vim source directory cd ~/code/vim/src/po make clean && make gvim.desktop Best, Christian -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
