Custom build on Snow Leopard does not support transparency? #230

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I'm doing a custom build of Mac Vim on Snow Leopard. Obtained the source
code from git repository:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/MacVim.git vim7

and then did:

./configure --with-features=huge --enable-cscope --enable-pythoninterp
--enable-rubyinterp --enable-perlinterp --with-marchs="x86_64"
--with-macsdk=VER=10.6 --enable-gui=macvim --enable-tclinterp 

a minute and 13 seconds later I got a my own MacVim app. perldo command
works now (which is what I cared about) but now set transparency doesn't
have any effect?

Is there an option I need to set to make this work or is something else
broken. 

When I run the pre-compiled binary from this site (Snapshot 50)
transparency works but it doesn't have perldo support.

Search the vim_mac archives, this issue has been discussed there.

You can work around this problem by adding the following argument to configure:

--with-macsdk=10.5

(Your --with-macsdk argument is wrong at any rate.)  By the way you don't need 
to pass --with-macarchs 
(defaults to x86_64 on 10.6), --enable-gui (defaults to macvim).

I am hoping that somebody (other than me) will take the time to patch 
transparency so that it works when 
building against the 10.6 sdk.

Transparency now works on 10.6 _if_ you enable the "experimental renderer" in 
the Advanced preferences.

Just an FYI @bjorn.winckler, I am now having the transparency issue after I 
installed the latest update as well.  I tried your suggestion of enabling the 
"experimental renderer", but I am still not able to make my windows transparent.

Transparency should definitely work with the experimental renderer: go into the 
advanced prefs, enable the experimental renderer, the quit MacVim and restart, 
try ":set transp=50".  If it doesn't work, then go through the steps in the 
ReportingBugs wiki page [1].  (If you reset the preferences as outline there 
you'll have to go into the advanced prefs and re-enable the experimental 
renderer afterwards.)

It does work for me. However, the setting was already on in previous version 
and 7.3 didn't pick it up automatically. However after I turned it off and on 
again after update to 7.3, transparency did start working properly again.
