Numerous bugs and issues have been opened in the past few months, because Macvim fails to build against Homebrew Python. For now Homebrew devs are forced to use a hack to get around this problem, but the solution should be very simple on Macvim's side.
The source of the bug is that Macvim seems to link to Python on build by `-framework Python` instead of `python-config --ldflags`. Here is Homebrew's Macvim formula for the exact hack-fix, note the Python paragraph at the end: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/macvim.rb#L74 Besides that, please see this issues for more information, they discuss this specific problem: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/17908 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/26496 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/20075 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/26496 Besides that, several issues have been opened on Macvim's Google Code page: https://code.google.com/p/macvim/issues/detail?id=458 https://code.google.com/p/macvim/issues/detail?id=451 https://code.google.com/p/macvim/issues/detail?id=450 And another thread in this Google Group has also been opened, asking for a fix: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/vim_mac/homebrew/vim_mac/Pdb_XNYhPjw/jkZ6C9fXIWEJ Please fix this, its causing a headache to a lot Macvim & Python users! -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
