No change.
Since building latest vim source works through HomeBrew, I simply copied the vim.rb formula, replaced the HEAD repository URL with the fork I want to use, and then added the options I want to the configure step. This worked to build vim from source with the configurations options I want. It would still be interesting to know why HomeBrew source build works and doing it myself doesn't work, but I have at least gotten past compiling. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
