Changes to make Vim compile with X on OS X
Ben Schmidt
I recently had trouble compiling Vim on Mac OS X 10.4.9 with GTK2 GUI. As is
mentioned in the Vim source, the X headers and Mac headers clash horribly. This
means stuff has to be separated carefully into files that have X headers available
and those that have Mac headers available, and they weren't quite sorted out
right. The attached patch fixes it by moving code around:
- Moved from os_mac_conv.c to mac_gui.c and made static to that file:
- mac_utf16_to_enc
- mac_enc_to_utf16
- mac_enc_to_cfstring
- mac_utf16_to_utf8
- mac_utf8_to_utf16
- A chunk of code from option.c has also been moved to os_mac_conv.c
as 'mac_lang_init()'.
- And a preprocessor conditional in globals.h was changed so X headers
aren't expected when they aren't available.
I thought it was the best of a bad bunch of options for fixing the issues.
It now compiles for me, configured with
./configure --with-features=huge --enable-pythoninterp --enable-perlinterp
--enable-rubyinterp --enable-tclinterp --enable-cscope --enable-gui=gtk2
It would be good to have this or a similar fix in the official distribution.
Might this have an effect on MacVim, Bjorn, or vim-coco, Jiang (sorry if names
wrong...memory is hazy)? If so, perhaps you could suggest a better solution?
Cheers,
Ben.
