That's strange. On openSUSE Tumbleweed I can build the following versions of Vim with no problem: 9.0.1633 (Huge or Normal) with GTK3 GUI 9.0.1633 (Tiny) with Motif GUI or with no GUI Failure to build is usually due to a missing "development" package. I suggest to use the YaST "System Management" subsystem to search for the following packages, and install them if they aren't yet: • libX11-devel • gtk3-devel • any additional packages suggested by YaST to make them work Without the former you can't compile for X11; without the latter you can't compile for GTK3 though you might be able to compile for another GUI such as (for example) Motif. If you still can't compile gvim with "make reconfig" (and the appropriate environmrnt variables) once these packages are installed, please come back here, pasting into your email the exact error messages as printed by configure. FYI, here is how I configure my "huge but not maximum" gvim by means of environment variables; this allows me to leave the Makefile and the src/Makefile unchanged from the Vim distribution. If you want to use this script, you will have to edit it, at least to replace my name by yours, and possibly to add or remove some configuration settings (for the environment variable names, see the first part of the src/Makefile): # configuration settings for Vim # this script is to be sourced (not executed) by the bash shell # which is going to "make" Vim in the src directory export CONF_OPT_GUI='--enable-gui=gtk3' # the multibyte feature itself (+multi_byte) is now always enabled export CONF_OPT_TERMINAL='--disable-terminal' export CONF_OPT_AUTOSERVE='--enable-autoservername' export CONF_OPT_FEAT='--with-features=huge' export CONF_OPT_COMPBY='"--with-compiledby=antoine.mechely...@gmail.com"' Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
