Vim clipboard won't work on OS X when compiled with GTK #264

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile Vim with GTK+ (brew install vim --client-server)
2. Open Vim
3. Try to paste from the clipboard (Using "+p or "*p)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Pasting whatever is in the clipboard
Actual result: Nothing in register * (or +, both are empty)

Tested with version(s):
Vim: 7.4.253 and 7.4.430
OS: OS X 10.8.5

It should be noted that everything works fine as long as I don't compile in 
GTK+. I see how this causes problems for "+ but I don't understand why it 
affects "* as well.

Could you try with at least 7.4.445? That fixed a clipboard related problem.

Is there a location where I can download the tarbal? Or do I need to clone the 
repo instead?

Easiest would be to clone the repository I guess.

I've just given it a try with the latest version in the repo and it still does 
nothing.
Both the * and + registers are empty and cannot be written to.
