patch 9.0.1980: win32: issues with stable python ABI Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/119fdd9293f63614ed2ca60a78993466435db639 Author: Ken Takata <kentkt@csc.jp> Date: Wed Oct 4 20:05:05 2023 +0200 patch 9.0.1980: win32: issues with stable python ABI Problem: win32: issues with stable python ABI Solution: if_python3,win32: Fix Python3 stable ABI There were some issues in current stable ABI implementation on Windows: * Python DLL name should be `python3.dll` instead of `python311.dll` and so on. (See: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/stable.html) * Some non-stable API functions were used: - `_PyObject_NextNotImplemented` - `PyStdPrinter_Type` * `reset_stdin()` and `hook_py_exit()` didn't work with `python3.dll`. `python3.dll` is a special type of DLL called forwarder DLL. It just forwards the functions to other DLL (e.g. `python311.dll`). There were two issues regarding these functions: - `python3.dll` doesn't have import tables. This caused a crash in `get_imported_func_info()`. Add a check whether the specified DLL has an import table. - `reset_stdin()` and `hook_py_exit()` should be applied to the forwarded DLL (e.g. `python311.dll`), not to `python3.dll`. Check the export directory of `python3.dll` to find the forwarded DLL and apply the functions to it. closes: #13260 Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> Co-authored-by: Ken Takata <kentkt@csc.jp>

INSTALLmac.txt - Installation of Vim on Apple MacOS

This file contains instructions for compiling Vim. If you already have an
executable version of Vim, you don't need this.

MacOS Classic is no longer supported.  If you really want it use Vim 6.4.
Only '/' is supported as path separator.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure you've installed Xcode and CommandLineTools.  You can download Xcode
from the Mac App Store, for free.

To check for CommandLineTools open a terminal and do:

	$ make --version

If not installed yet a window pops up instructing you to install the developer
tools.

If you don't have the source yet, best is to use git (which you need to
install first), see http://www.vim.org/git.php
Or you can download and unpack the Unix tar archive, see
   http://www.vim.org/download.php


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build and install the terminal version.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can compile vim with the standard Unix routine:
   cd vim/src
   make
   make test
   sudo make install

If you get an error "glibtool: command not found" search on stackoverflow for
mac-osx-where-can-i-download-glibtool.

With Homebrew, run:

      brew install libtool

To build libtool from source:

    1. Download the source code from https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/.

    2. Run these commands from the root of the source code directory:

           ./configure --program-prefix=g
           make
           sudo make install


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build and install the GUI version with X-Windows
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: this probably no longer works, since Athena support has been removed.

First, install XQuartz, which you can download from https://www.xquartz.org.

To tell configure to use a GUI you can edit the Makefile and uncomment these
two lines (remove the # at the start of the line):

    CONF_OPT_GUI = --enable-gui=athena
    CONF_OPT_DARWIN = --disable-darwin

Do "make distclean" to start with a clean slate.
Then build as with the terminal version above.
Instead of "athena" you can try "gtk2" but you probably need to install GTK
first.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mac-specific configure options are explained in the Makefile:
	--disable-darwin
	--with-mac-arch
