Hi,

Latest git version of vim, see the following:

Can you try with `make -j1`?

Note that vim-from-git builds fine here on mageia linux v8 x64, after running
this script:

Can you provide more details about your operating system and how you ran
`./configure`?

But I previously can make vim with -j > 1.

Failed, see following:

With this:

```

./configure \

--enable-autoservername \
--enable-cscope \
--enable-fontset \
--enable-multibyte \
--enable-luainterp \

--with-x \
--with-luajit \

--with-lua-prefix=/usr \
--with-features=huge

```

vim builds fine on mageia v8 x64. But I changed the lua-prefix to /usr and
using mageia's luajit.

No, I use the self compiled lua/moonjit which installed under /usr/local:

Hi!

On Sat, 18 Apr 2020 18:56:56 +0800

After using this to build moonjit git:

#
# Distributed under terms of the MIT license.

make PREFIX="$HOME/apps/to-del-moonjit" all install
```

and this to build vim:

```
luajit_pref="$HOME/apps/to-del-moonjit"
PATH="$luajit_pref/bin:$PATH"

./configure \
--enable-fail-if-missing \
--enable-autoservername \

```

So my guess is that vim and moonjit are not compatible with each other.

YOu can try my fix at https://github.com/shlomif/vim/tree/lua-moonjit-support
(note the branch) which seems to work.

Sometimes you don’t need to be familiar with a better alternative to know that

You are using the wrong git branch:

https://github.com/shlomif/vim/tree/lua-moonjit-support

execute "git checkout lua-moonjit-support"

Hi,

First of all, I suggest removing moonjit out of /usr/local and installing it to
its own path (say "/opt/moonjit" or "/usr/local/apps/moonjit"). After that [and
after fixing the "./configure" invocation], try playing with these:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Environment-Variables.html

As well as
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13428910/how-to-set-the-environmental-variable-ld-library-path-in-linux

Good luck!

The only relative moonjit/luajit in "./configure" invocation is as following:

--with-luajit

Which has not location relative argument, so this is no need to fix
anything for my case of the "./configure" options.

It does the trick. Thanks a lot. But I stilll cannot figure out why
must I install it into separate dirctory otherwise it will failed to
work.

The method I used is as following:

I prepare a module file and then use lmod to loade it, the file has
the following contents which is used to set the environment variables:


#%Module
setenv CPATH {/home/werner/moonjit/include/moonjit-2.3}
setenv C_INCLUDE_PATH {/home/werner/moonjit/include/moonjit-2.3}
prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH {/home/werner/moonjit/lib}
setenv LIBRARY_PATH {/home/werner/moonjit/lib}
prepend-path PATH {/home/werner/moonjit/bin}


See the final result:
$ ldd src/vim | grep jit
libluajit-5.1.so.2 => /home/werner/moonjit/lib/libluajit-5.1.so.2
(0x00007f56f4490000)

Another problem I cannot figure out: the lua version for my case is
5.3, see following:

$ lua -v
Lua 5.3.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2018 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

Why the above generated lib version is libluajit-5.1.so.2?

As far as I'm concerned, my changes there are licensed as this:

https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/blob/2ad7e2335d5c031e930b742760bc215603d658a1/shlomif-settings/git/commit-messages/cc0-copyright-disclaimer.txt

However, the change is hacky and will likely break with a different version of
moonjit. It should be redone using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find_(Unix) or
similar.

Also note that I cannot push to git master so I'll have to open a pull request.

There can be a lot of software packages installed under /usr/local/* and some
of them may interfere with the building of vim.
