> It does compile for me out of the box (where I mean svn with box). OK. I see what my problem was. I never downloaded the vim-extras package, only the Unix sources, so I didn't get the Carbon UI or any other Mac-specific stuff.

The clipboard register does not work in the terminal or other GUIs on the Mac (e.g. GTK). This is because the support is included in the GUI, gui_mac.c, and cannot be enabled without it, rather than somewhere I would consider more logical, such as os_macosx.c. The Mac GUIs don't work for me reliably/consistently (e.g. with Hebrew text), and I generally prefer to work in the terminal anyway (I like such things as suspending my Vim session). So I guess the question now is: could the sources be rearranged such that Mac clipboard support can be enabled without the GUI being enabled? I can't see any reason why not. But it must rely more on just having the GUI compiled in, as even running Vim in a terminal without the GUI but with the GUI compiled in, the clipboard doesn't work. So some initialisation must be happening with the GUI or something to make it work only then. Anyone got any ideas? Or is this not worth pursuing? Ben.
