Hi David, I've got the radare version of vim - thanks for the tip. I've been trying to compile vim on the ipad itself. There are a number of ideas about getting gcc to work on the ipad, and some claim to be successful. You might look at https://code.google.com/p/iphone-gcc-full/ or http://gamma-level.com/iphoneos/ports/environment and http://www.89geek.com/2012/01/install-c-compiler-on-iphone-4s-gcc.html But I've had real trouble getting any of this to work. Only once have I been able to get Vim configured with Python properly and then had a make error. There almost always ends up being an error in the make process - usually I'm missing a library or have a header problem. I've tired of trying to figure out the issues. But I will say that I don't really know what I'm doing, and the iphone-gcc project looks promising. I'd probably attempt more but since Apple has stopped signing 6.1.2 I have no way of restoring my ipad if something goes awry. So I think I'm going to wait until ios 7 and try again. As much as I like Apple products I do with they were less hack resistant. In any case, best of luck should you decide to try again! -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
