How do I compile Vim with the clientserver feature on Mac OS X? I have the vim-7.3.tar.bz2 source
I understand that MacVim has this built in, bu
Using MacPorts:
$ sudo port install vim +huge +gtk2
In a new window:
$ /opt/local/bin/vim --servername FOO
And in another window:
$ /opt/local/bin/vim --serverlist
FOO
Quick. Easy.
EDIT
The +gtk2 is required to make it work, +huge is not enough. Actually, I think that it should work without +gtk2 as long as you have +x11. Unfortunatelly I'm not on my Mac anymore so I can't try. The whole thing takes about 3 minutes so you could try it.
