Compile Vim 7.3 with +clientserver feature on Mac OS X

Question

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

Answer 1

I got it to work by adding --enable-gui=gtk2

./configure --enable-rubyinterp --enable-pythoninterp --with-features=huge --enable-gui=gtk2

Then run from the console:

$ vim --servername FOOBAR_SERVER

From another console:

$ vim --serverlist
FOOBAR_SERVER

Or from within any Vim instance:

:echo serverlist()
FOOBAR_SERVER

Note that X11.app will also boot up as it is necessary for the Vim server to function.
