[solved] vim build failed

akuschki · 2009-10-21 22:23:34

Hi
I am trying to build vim because the version in the repo lacks a couple of options I need (x11...). The build fails without a clear error message, below are the last lines before the makepkg -s fails:

patching file src/cleanlint.vim
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file src/cleanlint.vim.rej
patching file src/diff.c
patching file src/edit.c
patching file src/ex_cmds.c
patching file src/ex_cmds2.c
patching file src/ex_docmd.c
patching file src/proto/ex_cmds.pro
patching file src/proto/spell.pro
patching file src/quickfix.c
patching file src/spell.c
patching file src/structs.h
patching file src/term.h
patching file src/vim.h
patching file src/version.c
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...

If the reason is the failed patch is there a way to correct things manually?

This it the (slightly modified) PKGBUILD I am using:

Any help appreciated.

You may want to look at the "gvim" package if you want X11 support...

thanks, that solved it. Sorry I didn't try that obvious solution myself, I didn't realise that installing gvim would also change the features of the console vim version. I thought those two packages are independent.
Cheers
