No, there is no official MacVim.app release yet (only binary snapshots)...I am still fixing bugs and implementing missing features. That being said, it works fairly well and supports some features that the Carbon port does not. Please try it out and let me know why/if it is not suitable for you (I am curious as to why you'd prefer the GTK version over MacVim on a Mac). Feature request/bug reports can be posted to the vim_mac group. > Is there a particular reason that Vim doesn't compile for Mac out of the > box rather than having these different distributions? Last time I tried I had no problems compiling Carbon Vim from the svn repository. As for MacVim; since it is not the official port I have it set up on a separate repository. If it ever reaches a stage where people prefer MacVim over Carbon Vim then I guess we could start thinking about adding it to the Vim repository instead. Building MacVim should not be difficult; the instructions on the project page. /Björn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
