Hi developers
If I compile vim on Windows XP with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Express Edition on the command line with
nmake -f Make_mvc.mak DEBUG=yes FEATURES=TINY GUI=yes OLE=yes
I get the errors:
ex_cmds2.obj : error LNK2019:
unresolved external symbol _get_locale_val referenced
in function _get_mess_env
os_mswin.obj : error LNK2019:
unresolved external symbol _gui_mch_dialog referenced
in function _display_errors
Is this a bug or isn't this configuration supported for certain reasons?
Thanks for any replies!
Best regards

I guess it's a bug; but "Tiny" features means barest bones, without
arithmetic evaluation and without syntax highlighting. I don't recommend
it. On Windows the default is "Normal" features and I recommend "Big" or
"Huge", especially for a "debug" version. On Unix-like systems, on some
systems such as RedHat or SuSE there may be up to three different
featuresets of a single version and patchlevel, as follows; any or all
of them may be installed on a given machine:
- "vi", which is actually Vim with Tiny features and no GUI, placed
in a directory that will always be mounted, for use in
single-user-without-X11 "system repair" mode (packages vim-common and
vim-minimal)
- "vim" with Big features but no GUI, for use in Console mode, in
/dev/tty or possibly in an xterm (vim-common and vim-enhanced)
- "gvim" with Big or Huge features and GUI, for use in X11
(vim-common and vim-x11).
Best regards,
Tony.
