patch 9.0.2036: if_python: rework python3.12 build dependency Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/396058acd0cc66e5071d052e03d2067b134952af Author: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com> Date: Tue Oct 17 10:38:11 2023 +0200 patch 9.0.2036: if_python: rework python3.12 build dependency Problem: if_python: rework python3.12 build dependency (after 9.0.1996) Solution: use PyTuple_Size instead of inlining the Py_SIZE into the Vim code base Use a simpler fix for Python 3.12 build issues Python 3.12 introduced link dependencies to their `Py_SIZE()` inline function, which #13290 fixed by copying the inline function to Vim's Python binding code. This works but it's fragile, as a future update may change the implementation of `Py_SIZE` and there is no way for us to know. The reason we need `Py_SIZE` to begin with is that we use `PyTuple_GET_SIZE()` which calls that. Just fix it by mapping that to (confusingly similarly named) `PyTuple_Size()`, which we already do in the stable ABI implementation. There's a minor performance cost in that it's not inlined and it does error checking but that's fine as we only call this function rarely (in an error handler). related: #13290 closes: #13359 Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> Co-authored-by: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com>

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
