MacVim: Missing vim directory in MacVim.app/Contents/Resources #1335

Closed

Description

@mario-grgic

Steps to reproduce

I am building macvim from source (I do this couple of times a week to keep up to date). Today I am building as of commit d311aae, using the following configure options

./configure --with-features=huge --enable-rubyinterp --enable-pythoninterp --enable-python3interp --enable-perlinterp --enable-luainterp=yes --with-lua-prefix=/usr/local --enable-cscope --enable-terminal

which produces MacVim.app without vim directory in MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/ directory, so entire runtime directory is not available. This is a recent regression.

By the way I am building on macOS 10.15 Catalina, with Xcode 12.1.

This does not happen on macOS 13.0 Ventura and Xcode 14.1.

Expected behaviour

vim and runtime directories should be installed in Runtime.

Version of Vim and architecture

VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Nov 3 2022 13:19:30) macOS version - x86_64 Included patches: 1-827

Environment

macOS 10.15.7 Catalina
Built in Terminal.app
echo $TERM
xterm-256color
shell: GNU bash, version 5.2.0(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0)

How MacVim was installed

Built from git

Logs and stack traces

No response

Vim configuration where issue is reproducable

No response

Issue has been tested with given configuration

  • by running MacVim.app from GUI macOS interface
  • by running vim/gvim/etc installed by MacVim
  • by running other versions of vim (e.g. /usr/bin/vim)

Issue has been tested with no configuration

  • by running mvim --clean (or gvim, supplied by MacVim distribution)
  • by running vim --clean (in terminal, supplied by MacVim distribution)
  • by running vim --clean (in terminal, other suppliers, e.g. /usr/bin/vim)

Other conditions

  • The both Homebrew packages "vim" and "macvim" are installed

    It's important, that if you need both python3 and python2, dynamic option is required. It's neither possible to build Vim with both versions of Python statically, nor use both Python versions in the same Vim session.

    Do you see any error messages @mario-grgic? Your issue report seems to suggest it completed building but didn't include the "vim" folder but I'm guessing that the build just failed?

    I have seen that Sparkle 2's framework doesn't really work well with older versions of Xcode before. I have been wondering about filing a bug report on Sparkle. Can you try this and see if it fixes the issue locally (run it from repo root folder)?

    ln -fhs Sparkle_1.framework src/MacVim/Sparkle.framework
    

    If it does fix the issue, you can just use that for now. I'll think about if there's a way to handle this better.

    Actually, I think this may be related to a code signing bug in older Xcode versions (sparkle-project/Sparkle#2069). Can you try the following @mario-grgic (apply the patch) instead of what I mentioned above? You didn't include an error message so I'm guessing that you are failing at the code signing stage, but if it's something else then we have to debug further:

    If you don't want to apply the patch you can just go to Xcode, select MacVim.xcodeproj, go to Build Phases -> Copy Framework, and then turn off Code Sign On Copy for Sparkle.framework.

    This is a build failure, which I didn't originally notice since post build I run a few scripts to copy over custom MacVim icons, etc. But here is build failure:

    and yes it is related to code signing.

    I tried applying the patch, but get:

    You can just open src/MacVim/MacVim.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj and remove CodeSignOnCopy, from the Sparkle.framework line.

    Cool thanks for confirming. #1336 will fix this. Feel free to try it out once it's merged.

    Yes but it requires a custom patch to manually strip it. Homebrew also disables Sparkle but it only removes Sparkle after the build is done. During build phase it still links against Sparkle.

    Alright this is merged. @mario-grgic you can revert the change and just pull the latest. Let me know if you see more issues with building/running.
