I want to build vim from source so that I can compile --enable-termtruecolor to try out 24bit colors in terminal vim. However, the configure step is never able to find my ncurses library.
Searching the internet shows several other people having the same problem: http://molecularclouds.blogspot.com/2012/01/compiling-vim.html https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/32066 Unfortunately, none of their solutions have been useful to me. I am able to successfully compile 7.4.488 from source via `brew install vim`. This makes it clear that my inability to build vim from source on my own, without HomeBrew, is purely a configuration problem. So, I tried to completely replicate the HomeBrew configuration: I get the same source that HomeBrew uses: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/v/vim/vim_7.4.488.orig.tar.gz export CPATH=/usr/local/include export CXXFLAGS="-Os -w -pipe -march=native -mmacosx-version-min=10.10" export CFLAGS="-Os -w -pipe -march=native -mmacosx-version-min=10.10" export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -F/usr/local/Frameworks -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names" export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python/bin:/Users/admin/.gem/bin:/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/Library/ENV/scm" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/Cellar/vim/HEAD/share/man --enable-multibyte --with-tlib=ncurses --enable-cscope --with-features=huge --with-compiledby=Homebrew --enable-perlinterp --enable-pythoninterp --enable-rubyinterp --enable-gui=no --without-x No avail. The configure step exits with: checking --with-tlib argument... ncurses checking for linking with ncurses library... configure: error: FAILED I don't understand how it couldn't possibly find it with all of these settings identical to a working HomeBrew source build. What else does HomeBrew do differently? Any other ideas what I might be doing incorrectly? Thank you! -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
