Linux guy making the switch to Mac (10.8). Because I'm lazy...
I used MacPorts to install MacVim. It seemed to install without error. I just need python, ruby and perl support in mvim.
$ /opt/local/bin/mvim --version | egrep 'patches|python|ruby|perl'
Included patches: 1-244, 246-646
+multi_lang -mzscheme +netbeans_intg +odbeditor +path_extra -perl
+persistent_undo +postscript +printer -profile -python -python3 +quickfix
+reltime -rightleft -ruby +scrollbind +signs +smartindent -sniff +startuptime
I looked for the src directory as it's explained in github but found nothing:
$ find /opt/local/ -name src -type d | grep -i vim
I did find and extract this file to /tmp/macvim
/opt/local/var/macports/software/MacVim/MacVim-7.3.snapshot65_1.darwin_12.x86_64.tbz2
Then grep'd +PORTFILE for the string 'prefix':
$ grep prefix +PORTFILE
PYTHON=${prefix}/bin/python2.7
copy ${worksrcpath}/src/MacVim/mvim ${destroot}${prefix}/bin
ln -s mvim ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/mvimdiff
ln -s mvim ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/mview
ln -s mvim ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/mvimex
configure.args-append --enable-pythoninterp --with-python=${prefix}/bin/python2.5
configure.args-append --enable-pythoninterp --with-python=${prefix}/bin/python2.6
configure.args-append --enable-pythoninterp --with-python=${prefix}/bin/python2.7
configure.args-append --enable-python3interp --with-python3=${prefix}/bin/python3.1
configure.args-append --enable-python3interp --with-python3=${prefix}/bin/python3.2
At this point it seems like all the interpreters I care about should have been enabled. So, now I'm confused.
The question now is:
Anyway, I'm kinda lost in Mac-world. Any guidance would be appreciated.
If you run port info macvim
you see that it has some variants:
MacVim @7.3.snapshot65, Revision 1 (editors)
Variants: big, cscope, huge, perl, python, python25, python26,
python27, python31, python32, ruby, tcl, universal, xim
Description: MacVim is a port of the text editor Vim to Mac OS X that
is meant to look better and integrate more seamlessly with
the Mac than vim-app.

You can install MacVim with Python, Ruby and Perl support by selecting those variants using:
sudo port install macvim +python +perl +ruby
