2/21/2023 0 Comments Cellar macvim![]() ![]() I'm scared to try any more linking/unlinking because, in addition to just having a bunch of junk on my 4 year old computer that I wanted to be rid of, I went through with the recent wipe and clean install because I broke the builtin Python unlinking stuff I shouldn't have. I tried ln -s /Applications/MacVim.app /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/7.4-73_1/, but it says the file already exists. ![]() usr/local/bin/vimdiff -> /usr/local/Cellar/vim/HEAD/bin/vimdiff usr/local/bin/vim -> /usr/local/Cellar/vim/HEAD/bin/vim usr/local/bin/view -> /usr/local/Cellar/vim/HEAD/bin/view Run `brew linkapps macvim` to symlink these to /Applications. configure -with-features=huge -enable-multibyte -with-macarchs=x86_64 -enable-perlinterp -enab Print _config_var("PYTHONFRAMEWORKPREFIX") □ /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.9: 4810 files, 78MĪnd here's the output from brew install -override-system-vim macvim:Īlready downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/ => /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.9/bin/python -s setup.py -no-user-cfg install -force -verbose -insta usr/local/bin/2to3 -> /Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/3.4/bin/2to3 To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files: The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/localĪlready exists. Run `brew linkapps python` to symlink these to /Applications.Įrror: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully There’s also a experimental branch which adds a file-browser side pane, which is implemented in Objective-C and thus very fast. They will install into the site-package directory MacVIM is a Vimport for OSX with quite some extensions like multiple windows, editor tabs, nice font rendering etc. => Pouring python-2.7.9.yosemite.bottle.10.tar.gz Similar to a symlink, but specific to my need.Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/python-2.7.9.yosemite.bottle.10.tar.gz So technically, everytime the system asks for /Applications/MacVim.app, what it really does being the scene is to list the content of the folder /usr/local/Cellar/macvim, take the first folder in the list, and read the content of the MacVim.app file in the said folder. The only requirement is to implement the open, read and close command. I only know it is possible to create a custom character device with a custom driver. I haven't looked in depth in this solution as it is definitely more advanced. MacVim gives you OS X features like S to save, C and V for copy and paste, a proxy icon in the menu bar to drag-and-drop or right-click for the folder hierarchy, a dot in the red 'close' button to indicate unsaved changes. What I like with this solution, is that the command is only run when it is needed, not every minute. I highly recommend everyone using TextMate to try MacVim with Janus. Then I would simply run the same command as in the crontab when MacVim is updated. That's a guess, but I was hoping there were some feature in homebrew to run a command after a package is being updated. I don't find this solution particularly better than the crontab except it is using a more "modern" scheduler. Same as crontab, but using a scheduled task. Or am I missing something obvious? A bit more explanations as requested in comment Solution 1Ī one line command in the crontab can be used: * * * * * ln -fs "$(find '/usr/local/Cellar/macvim' -name 'MacVim.app' | head -n 1)" /Applications/MacVim.app And solution #5 seems a bit hardcore for such a trivial task. Solution #3 and #4 are much better, but I haven't found anything about hook in homebrew. If possible, I would prefer to run the command when it is needed only. Every minute, the command to update the symlink is run, but 99.99% of the time it does nothing Looks more like a hacky solution to me. I implemented solution #1 and #2 in the past, but I find it quite messy. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: Copy link. Failing anything homebrew can do to fix the issue, at least this will help document it for any body else that comes along in the future and runs into the same problem. Create a node with custom driver that open(), read() and close() the right file It's likely an upstream issue with MacVim.Configure homebrew to hook some script after updating MacVim to update symlink.Configure homebrew, if possible, to use the same directory always.Use a crontab to regularly update the symlink.What can I do to have a more permanent solution that does not require fixing the symlink every time MacVim is updated? Of course, next time MacVim is updated, the version will change and I will have to fix the symlink. I have created a symlink in /Applications pointing to /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.2-163_2/MacVim.app (for now) so MacVim.app is visible in the Launchpad, and I dragged the symlink in the Dock to access it quickly. Now I like my app to be accessible through the Dock and the Launchpad. The absolute path to the app is /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/xxxxxx/MacVim.app, with xxxxxx the version number. I am using MacVim installed via homebrew. ![]()
