Here is summary of what was required to be done to get MacVim built on Tiger 10.4.11.
- The normal building documentation recommends that you get the source using this: "git clone git://repo.or.cz/MacVim.git vim7". However, that version has problems (binary builds but when you try to open vim window it won't open). I suggest you download new snapshot directly from http://repo.or.cz/w/MacVim.git. Click on the "Snapshot 43" or better, then click on the download link (.tar.gz or zip). This way you don't need to install git. - If you have XCode 2.0, it is too old. Install XCode 2.5. You can download it by googling "xcode 2.5 download". The download site requires free registration. The download is about 1 GB. - After installing XCode 2.5, go to Xcode's Preferences > Building. Set it to build into "Project Directory". This might be the default setting. - After this proceed as documented in here: http://code.google.com/p/macvim/wiki/Building I used this configuration spell successfully: ./configure --enable-perlinterp --enable-pythoninterp --enable-rubyinterp --enable- cscope --enable-gui=macvim After building, I renamed the previous MacVim.app to MacVim- stable.app, and moved the new MacVim.app to Applications/ folder. Everything was really easy so if you are planning on building your own version don't hesitate. Building my own binary with less bloat and enabling the Quickstart from MacVim preferences made launching new windows *much* more faster. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
