Has anyone successfully built MacVim under Homebrew with Python/Ruby support using *homebrew's Python and Ruby packages*?

[Chris Patti]

I'd decided to try out VimRePress for my blogging needs, so I went
through the usual install process with my stock MacVim under Homebrew
and *kaboom*! I get errors about shared modules (I don't have the
exact errors because I found a solution - but not an ideal one).

So, I found Paulo Poiati's excellent blog post here:
http://blog.paulopoiati.com/2012/02/07/installing-vimrepress-in-macvim-osx-lion/

on how to get things going, but you're stuck using the default
versions of Python etc that come bundled with MacOS X.

Quite honestly, this stinks, for a number of reasons, chief among them
being that I don't like to have to run sudo to install random Python
scripts, and also because I like to keep the stock Python, Ruby, etc
stock, because various other things depend on them.  Also, I end up
missing the more recent versions that Homebrew provides.

So, has anyone managed to build MacVim under Homebrew with Python/Ruby
support using the Homebrew supplied versions of these packages?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

-Chris

I just build MacVim to pick up the python.org python, with (current master= bcc349c).  I have python.org 32 bit python 2.6 on OSX 10.6, which was built with gcc 4.0, so the configure command was something like (sorry):

CC=gcc-4.0 CFLAGS="-arch i386" ./configure --with-features=huge \
              --enable-rubyinterp \
              --enable-pythoninterp=dynamic \
              --enable-perlinterp \
              --enable-cscope \

Obviously `which python` finds my python.org Python 2.6, so MacVIm appeared to pick that up at build and run time.

I tried using the --with-python-config-dir=PATH option to pick up the python.org python, and it compiled, but seemed to lose a large proportion of its path for reasons I did not investigate much.  

Best,

Matthew

I think that's the issue.  Homebrew appears to be building a 64 bit Python etc.

I'll try exploring some of those config options and see if I can get
Homebrew to build its Python as 32 bit.

Thanks!

I built my MacVim using rvm's Ruby & perlbrew's Perl. The version of
Python was supplied my Mac Ports:

`Compilation: gcc -c -I. -Iproto -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DFEAT_GUI_MACVIM -Wall
- -Wno-unknown-pragmas -pipe  -DMACOS_X_UNIX -no-cpp-precomp  -g -O2
- -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1
Linking: gcc   -L.  -bind_at_load -L.  -bind_at_load
- -L/usr/local/lib -o Vim -framework Cocoa -framework Carbon
- -lncurses  -framework Cocoa    -fstack-protector -L/u
sr/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib
-
-L/Users/dobbin/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.2/lib/5.14.2/darwin-2level/CORE
- -lperl -lm -lutil -lc -framework Python   -lruby -lobjc  -L/Users
/dobbin/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p352/lib`

Python compiles pretty easily so your best bet may be to install it into
$HOME/bin, do the linking required & pass the appropriate flags to
MacVim. I think you could also ignore the OS X specific Framework for
python & just try a standard *nix install into ~/bin. I haven't tried it
but it should work (I use python nowadays via virtualenv).

Cheers,

  Phil...
