[Ecls-list] Fwd: ECL re-entrant?

I accidentally posted to just Juan, not the whole list.  Sorry.

Wow, I'm impressed that you are willing to take a look at this!  Yes,
the repos I mention do compile Vim under OS X (I use OS X Intel).  We
have moved to Vim7, so the Vim 6.4 repo there is probably deprecated.

Here are some comments that I posted to another list a while back
about how I compile Vim7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-eclinterp --disable-darwin

This will only build a console vim.  If you try to build a GUI vim,
then you will get a symbol conflict with "shadow", you can #define
shadow to something else before you #include "vim.h".  Send me an
email if you need help with this - I _think_ I got that working once.

You will NEED to make sure you compile with -O1.  O2 on Apple's GCC4
branch breaks Vim in weird ways.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I suspect that Vim7 is a little more OSX Intel friendly & you no
longer need to worry about -O1.

Thank you very much for wanting to look at this, I really didn't
expect help on this level.  I'm blown away!

Cheers
Brad
