Hi,

I have uploaded a 32 bit binary of MacVim 7.3 built for Mac OS X 10.5 PPC/Intel:

http://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/downloads

If somebody is running 10.5 could you be so kind as to try it out and
report back if it works or not. This version does not support
automatic updating (this is to spare me from having to deal with the
extra hassle).

I have not managed to build for OS X 10.4 yet -- I am hoping I'll be
able to resolve this but it may take a while before I get around to
try again.

Sorry, I can't run this. It quits immediately upon opening.

I have: OSX version 10.5.8 and my computer is:

Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro4,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon

Ok, thanks. Anything warnings/errors mentioned in Console.app? Any
error messages if you try starting from Terminal?

Can anybody else confirm this problem? Has anybody managed to run it on 10.5?

Hi Björn,

From the terminal:

MacBook-Pro-1:~/Temp$ mvim tmp.txt
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Perl/lib/5.10/libperl.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

And the same from the console:

Aha! So it's including the wrong version of Perl. I guess this was
the reason why I never included Perl in previous builds. :-)

I guess the 10.5 version will have to ship without Perl support.

Thanks once again for testing this.

I have uploaded a new build of MacVim 7.3 for OS X 10.5 / PPC / Intel
/ 32 bit to:

http://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/downloads

This one does not include Perl support so hopefully it will work this
time. Can somebody please confirm this for me (Michael?)? Thanks.

Hi, I'm new to vim/macvim. If I'm editing a ruby file, I've learned to run it by :rubyf /path/to/rubyscript
Is there a way to run the current buffer in a TextMate style cmd-R without having to type :rubyf filename each time? Thanks.

This how I run rspec using cmd+r. in .vimrc
" Run Rspec for the current spec file
function! RunRspec()
ruby << EOF
buffer = VIM::Buffer.current
spec_file = VIM::Buffer.current.name
VIM::message "Running Rspec for #{spec_file}. Results will be displayed in Firefox."
command = "ruby ~/.vim/bin/run_rspec.rb #{spec_file}"
system(command)
EOF
endfunction
map <F7> :call RunRspec()<cr>
map <D-r> <ESC>:w<CR><F7><CR>

just change the command accordingly.
