Vim failing to compile with python on OS X

by

Turns out the bug is actually in the Python Makefile, believe it or not.

Open the file

/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/config

or whatever the appropriate path is for you, and search for PyMac_Error. It should be on the line defining LINKFORSHARED, and on this line you need to change PYTHONFRAMEWORKDIR to PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR. Then go back to your vim source and ./configure, everything should go smooth.

Also make sure you symlink OS X’s Python Frameworks to the ones in the Homebrew Cellar:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current

should all point to

/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7

Not really sure why I had it in so many places, or if that’s bad, but there it is.
