MacVim @8.0.snapshot110_0+huge.darwin_10.x86_64: ibtool fails on Preferences.nib

[macportsraf]

port upgrade outdated didn't work so I tried cleaning then uninstalling and reinstalling. The error at the end of the logfile is:

Thanks for the report. Please Cc port maintainers in future tickets.

$ port info --maintainers MacVim

According to upstream MacVim targets OS X >= 10.8 now. I guess that means I have to mark these releases as unsupported, done in r153607.

As OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is a legacy platform, I won't investigate further. If you find another solution, feel free to comment or attach a patch.

The latest version that will install on macosx-10.6.8 is revision r144688

To install that, follow the instructions at:

wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort

TLDR (if MacVim is completely uninstalled):

svn checkout -r 144688 https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/editors/MacVim
cd MacVim
sudo port install

Then, in future, when upgrading do:

sudo port upgrade outdated and not MacVim
