building vim with ruby support

[K H]

Hi,

I'm on 10.7.2 with Xcode 4.2.1 and switch between system ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patch level 249) and use rbenv to manage 1.9.3-p0.

When I build vim (downloaded today from vim website) and ./configure --enable-rubyinterp while using 1.8.7 it builds find, and vim --version shows +ruby.

But when I build vim with 1.9.3 it builds fine, but vim --version shows -ruby.

Would I run into problems if I build vim with 1.8.7 but use it to work with 1.9.3?

Thanks!

Ken

When vim builds against a ruby, that will be the ruby it uses regardless
of rvm or rbenv - so you'll not be able to switch.

I've not had luck building against a non-system ruby, though a co-worker
was able to do it.

Try using rvm. Then you can switch your Ruby version & if you compile vim in
the same shell, it'll compile with the rvm specified Ruby (the codicil to
this statement is I don't know your compiler status, env, header files
situation & so forth).

If you do install rvm I recommend using the single-user install rather than
the multi-user one. It'll save you a lot of grief further on down the line
if you're the only user of Ruby on your machine.

Cheers,

Phil...
