Problems While Trying To Compile MacVim

I'm trying to compile MacVim on my Macbook Pro, but while it's running make, I got some errors:

What I need to do to correct this?

Check out the homebrew formula for MacVim. It states that "Building custom icons fails for many users, so off by default" and goes on to do the following:

unless ARGV.include? "--custom-icons"
  inreplace "src/MacVim/icons/Makefile", "$(MAKE) -C makeicns", ""
  inreplace "src/MacVim/icons/make_icons.py", "dont_create = False", "dont_create = True"
end

So, I'd suggest making those same modifications to your src/MacVim/icons/Makefile and src/MacVim/icons/make_icons.py.

Alternatively, use Homebrew to build / install MacVim, which is what I've done.

Good luck!

I had exactly the same symptoms. In addition to the step suggested above, I had to update my copy of brew from 0.7 to 0.8. Here're my steps:

cd ~/Developer # where I have my Homebrew installed; ymmv
brew update
brew remove macvim   # My 'damaged' copy
git checkout Library/Formula/macvim.rb   # Make sure it has the above fix
brew install macvim

...and this time it installed correctly.

My environment: Snow Leopard 10.6.8
