make distclean fails to remove src/config.cache

Hi Björn,

Doing 'make distclean' doesn't remove  src/config.cache.  Shouldn't it?
I went to compare this to the BramVim repo, but found that the BramVim
repo's ./configure script never even creates src/config.cache in the
first place.

If I forget to do the "export CC=clang" bit before ./configuring on Lion
or greater, then realize my error and go back and do it, then do make
distclean to clear the cache, the ./configure script yells at me to do
"make distclean" even though I already did.  Sure enough,
src/config.cache is still sitting there.  I have to manually remove the
file.

7.3.967 fails on Tiger PPC due to Python problem

Hi Björn,

MacVim failed to build on OS X 10.4.11 (PPC) after pulling to 7.3.967.
Everything as of the 7.3.806 pull from February was just fine.  Seems
the recent fiddling with Python in BramLand has messed things up for
poor Tiger.

My ./configure flags are: 
  --with-features=big   
  --enable-pythoninterp 
  --disable-netbeans    
  --disable-nls         

Here is the end of the build process that shows the chokage.

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [first] Error 2

I note that this error survived "make distclean" and also a fresh clone
of the repo.  I also note that my Python is in the standard
/library/frameworks/ python.framework location.  I also note that this
pull builds without problem on 10.8.3 and also on PPC Leopard.

Scrolling up through the terminal output reveals some warnings

Vim warns of swap files in "/var/tmp/"

python shortcut issue

Plans for Vim 7.4

Hello Vim users,

We are now at patch level 7.3.931. In a few weeks we would reach 999.  I
don't want to find out what happens if we go over that, so it's time for
Vim 7.4!

The top five of the voting list:
http://www.vim.org/sponsor/vote_results.php

1. add IDE features
2. add integration with Python instead of inventing more Vim script
3. fix all problems, big and small; make Vim more robust
4. improve syntax highlighting speed
5. add collaborative editing

I can't possibly do all of that in a few weeks, but this is what I can do:

1. Include the Python patches that ZyX has created.  This improves the
   Vim API from the Python interface.
2. Include the fast regexp engine patch that has been floating around
   for a long time. With some clever logic to fall back to the old
   regexp engine for patterns that might not work with the new one.
3. Include lots of pending patches for bug fixes.

Besides that, if you are maintaining runtime files, please send me any
pending updates.  I will not make big changes just before the release,
everything needs some time for testing.  Let's set a deadline at the end
of May.

I don't have a date set for the release. I'll include the mentioned
changes and then we need some time for testing until it looks stable.
And hopefully we don't go past 999 before that...

compiling for ipad/ios

Has anyone had any luck compiling vim for the iPad (specifically a jailbroken ipad2)? I've gotten 7.3 to run
on it, but I'd like Python support, which means the Cydia repo isn't going to be enough. Any tips would be appreciated!

'monitor' buffer to display command result

Dear all,

I have found the script on this page useful for running terminal commands in a new buffer:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Display_output_of_shell_commands_in_new_window. This script below
opens a scratch buffer with the result of a terminal command. This is one step closer to what I am after, but
not quite there yet. 

I would like to be able to perform a command on the content of the current buffer (%p). Now, I would like the
result to be printed in a named buffer (automatically created in a different window/tab, or refreshed if
it already exists), but without changing the focus from the current buffer. So effectively, I have a
'monitor' buffer working in the background. Something like this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNWFSIadAH8

Is this possible?  

Many Thanks indeed and sorry for the newbie question. 

Best,
Peiman

latex-suite and Bibtex

Hi,

I have a problem with latex-suite in combination with bibtex: 

When I type \cite{ and press F9, the middle window shows the correct entries of the bib file, but the bottom
window show the complete bibtex entry, instead of the summary with just the autor and title. Also the title
of the bottom window states 
grep -nH ___HIGHLY_IMPROBABLE___ test.tex

If I press return, the mid and bottom window are closed, but the reference is not copied to the tex file.

Some more info/summary:
- everything is working with (terminal version of) vim
- bibtex is working with MacVim
- \cite{ F9, works with MacVim, when thebibliography is in the tex file
x \cite{ F9 doesn't work with bibtex and MacVim

Do you have any ideas, how to fix this?

Thanks,
Matthias
