I just started using Vim recently, and I've found it to be an extremely useful editor for Python. However, the self-installing Vim 7.2 executable is set up for use with Python 2.4, so it looks for python24.dll. Since it doesn't exist on my computer, I can't run any Python code in Vim. (Since Python 3.0 isn't backwards compatible, I can't just install Python 2.4, because then my programs wouldn't work.)
I downloaded the Vim 7.2 source from ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/vim72src.zip and tried to compile it using MinGW, which I also just installed. I edited Make_ming.mak to add Python compilation options, specifically (right after the Python-related comment block): PYTHON=c:/PROGRA~1/Python30 PYTHON_VER=30 I then tried to compile it using the following command: mingw32-make -f Make_ming.mak gvim.exe It successfully compiled most of the files using gcc, but when it tried to compile if_python.c, the following error occurred: if_python.c: In function `PythonIO_Init': if_python.c:951: error: structure has no member named `ob_type' if_python.c: In function `PythonMod_Init': if_python.c:2351: error: structure has no member named `ob_type' if_python.c:2352: error: structure has no member named `ob_type' if_python.c:2353: error: structure has no member named `ob_type' if_python.c:2354: error: structure has no member named `ob_type' if_python.c:2355: error: structure has no member named `ob_type' if_python.c:2356: error: structure has no member named `ob_type' mingw32-make: *** [gobj/if_python.o] Error 1 The compilation process then exited immediately. I tried this several times, each time with the same results. In if_python.c, at each of the lines mentioned in the above error message is a line like the following (where "[something]" is a variable name): [something].ob_type = &PyType_Type; What is causing this problem, and how can I compile Vim with Python 3.0? (I am using Windows XP, Vim 7.2, Python 3.0, MinGW 5.1.4, Make 3.81, and gcc 3.4.5.)
