If anyone can advise how to 'fix' the caveat listed at the bottom, I'd appreciate it. cd /usr/src mkdir vim cd vim svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vim/vim7 cd vim7 ./configure --enable-rubyinterp --enable-cscope --enable-fontset --with-features=huge make make install only one caveat -- when invoking gvim, you have to pass the -f parameter, otherwise you will get: gvim: Fatal IO error 128 (Transport endpoint is not connected) on X server :0.0. thanks, reid
Well, I did that last night, build from sources. I did not have the transport error you mentioned but I had trouble make it build with gtk2. Turns out I needed to install the pkg-config cygwin package for vim's configure to find gtk > 2.2. Without it, configure was only finding gtk-config, which was giving it gtk 1.2 libs. I'm sorry I cannot help much with your error. All I can say is that it seems you're missing something in cygwin. For the record, here's the configure cmd I ran (after installing pkg-config): ./configure --enable-pythoninterp --enable-cscope --enable-multibyte --enable-fontset --enable-gui=auto --with-features=huge --with-x -- Luis P Caamano Atlanta, GA USA -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
