Fwd: Compiling vim 9.0 with gui
Hi, I have been trying to compile vim 9.0 with GUI enabled in CentOS 8. I have all the gtk-devel packages installed, and I am able to compile other gtk apps, but the vim build gives me a vim without GUI. I have tried configure --enable-gui=gtk but it doesn't help. I do not remember any problem with previous versions. Thank you, Ephraim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!

searching for gui turned up a failure to find Intrinsic.h
Here is the part of the configure script responsible:
$as_echo_n "checking if X11 header files can be found... " >&6; }
cflags_save=$CFLAGS
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $X_CFLAGS"
cat confdefs.h - <<_ACEOF >conftest.$ac_ext
/* end confdefs.h. */
#include
#include
int
main ()
{
;
return 0;
}
_ACEOF
The whole problem was a result of the way I installed my development
support on CentOS, which was by installing the gtk3-devel package with yum
(dnf). This installed the X development packages necessary for gtk, but it
didn't install the (obsolescent) libXt-devel package. Installing that
allowed a gui compilation. Perhaps this check in the configure script needs
to be updated.
Anyway, I now have a working GUI vim!
Thanks again!
