The part I was referring to was slightly further down: "Important: As noted previously, starting in Mac OS X v10.5, the file CocoaStandard.sdef in the location /System/Library/ScriptingDefinitions provides an sdef for Cocoa’s Standard suite, and you can use an xinclude statement to include it into your application’s sdef file. For more information, see the Scripting section of Foundation Release Notes." I'm guessing the sdef file is not available on 10.4. The question is whether it matters or not (i.e. whether MacVim will not start/give a warning/... if this file is missing, I guess that should be easy to test by temporarily renaming it...didn't think of that earlier)? > It looks like my version of GCC is incompatible with the 10.4 SDK, so > I'm unable to build and test.

If you can test the patch by renaming the sdef as I suggested above and let me know how it goes I'd be grateful. If that works it should be safe on 10.4.
